Goodyear Endurance long term review.
My 2018 Jayco Talon came with the Goodyear Endurance ties in 255/85/16. We use our TH for our sons racing which spans from Fla-NY about 10 months a year. I'd estimate we have approx. 25-30K miles on ...

Maybe "flat spot" wasn't the best choice of words. There's a spot roughly the size of my hand where the tread is worn more than the rest of the tire that caught my attention.
Out of round....Yes, I had the tire off the ground a little and it "grabbed" the concrete just a little in one spot when I spun it, nothing major.
I guess this is a hot topic here lately, I don't get on here much anymore. I just felt like I've probably got more miles on mine than most so I thought I'd share my experience with them as they are still new in the market.
A flat spot or worn spot on the tires thread is typical for a brake lock up. It can happen on wet or dry pavement. Looking at that spot the rubber isn't smooth but has tiny grind marks as the rubber is ground away. I have a LT235/85-16 E on one of my trailer with 4 flat spots in various spots caused by a blow grease seal soaking that shoe.
I've yet to see a LT or P or ST tire that didn't grab the surface in a small spot first some where around the tread especially if its been sitting.
I wouldn't call the Endurance a hot topic other than its a new tire on the market for over two years now. One person in particular said the Endurance has a flawless service record when it was only out a little over a year. Many folks have been around the industry knows it takes several years and many miles of service to say if the tire is going to be a good one...or bad one.
Your post is a good sign for the Endurance. There should be more input from TT/5th wheel rv trailer owners in 2-3 more years as the tire runs out of service time and replacements starts.
