We just bought a used 17ft 3200lb(dry) hybrid trailer. It is single axle and the tires are six years old. Because of the age and single axle I am looking for recommendations for durable tire options. I know good tires cost money and I believe it is money well spent, I just don't know much about trailer tires. Any recommendations?

They're all terrible... The GY Marathon got good reviews, then terrible reviews. The GY Endurance same, good reviews, then terrible reviews. Buy three tires from a shop you trust, and just plan to replace them regularly.

Single axles seem to be easier on tires, imo, so there's that.I personally don't buy into paying a bunch of extra money for "premium" tires. Been running Kenda Karriers on 2 different tandem trailers for several years now with no issue.

I’d suggest at least Load Range D but Es if they fit. Try eTrailer.

Go to Discount Tire and tell them to price GY ENDURANCE in your size and load range. Weight wise if you are on the edge I would go up in load range. Example "D" to "E".The ENDURANCE has been on the market for over 3 years now and not a single tire failure that was the tires fault. Oh if it matters to you they are Made in USA unlike most trailer tires that are made in Communist China!!!

Definitely go up a load range! Doesn't hurt a thing and will give some peace of mind.

I have Goodyear Endurance tires on my RV. Where can I read some of the terrible reviews so I can make a better informed decision when I need to replace them?

Hard to give a good recommendation for a known durable tire without knowing your trailers tire size/load range and axle capacity.

Only negative ENDURANCE comment is their 1/4” tread depth. Maybe he can let us know more.
