Any problems with Goodyear Endurance tires?
After hearing the Goodyear tire problems on motor homes, I was wondering if anyone who is/has used Goodyear Endurance tires on their travel trailer had any issues with these tires?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It looks like the Goodyear Endurance is performing well so far. So I going to put them on the my travel trailer.
Be sure the tire shop balances them.
Lug plate or not IMO balancing trailer tires is a waste of $$$ in general. ;) However, it's your $$$ so do with it what you want :B
Unless you use shims in the wheel hub pilot to center the wheel on the axle before tightening the lug nuts, you will never center that wheel on the axle with any consistency. The first two or three lug nuts you mate to the conical wheel seats will shift that wheel off axis if you don't use shims which is a HUGH and TEDIOUS procedure and having balancing wts already on the wheel can potentially make the wheel even more UNBALANCED on the axle than if the wheel had not been balanced on a machine using a lug plate.
