It's time for a new set of tires. I have narrowed down my choice between GY Endurance and Carlisle Trail HD. However, in comparing the price locally, Endurance costs 45% more than the Carlisle. For a set of 4 ST22575R15 LRE, Endurance costs CA$230 more than Carlisle HD. Is endurance that much better than Carlisle? I heard enough good things about the GY. I would like to hear from the Carlisle owners for their opinion.Thank you in advance!

Bottom line, Both the Goodyear and Carlisle are very good tires so buy either one with confidence. Both have a big following and both are holding up well. I went with the Carlisle simply based on price. So far, so good.

I just bought 2 Carlisle ST tires last week and they are made in china. I had to buy 2 of them on our way out of town pulling our TT on vacation and noticed bulges on the tread surface of 2 tires. They didn't have any GY Endurance in stock at the time.:(I bought a Goodyear Endurance last summer and I will bet $$ on which brand will last longer.I've had Carlisle ST tires go bad just sitting there and even with no weight on them as a spare, tread bulge or tread separation on the road.I will replace as needed with GY made in USA from now on.Yes, the Carlisle is made in China. And yes, years ago they did have a bad rep. All this changed with the new Radial Trail model which even has a higher speed rating. Yes, the new Goodyear Endurance seems to be a very good tire. IMO they're both fine. BTW, the old Goodyear Marathons were some of the worst tires I ever owned, almost as bad as the China bombs that came on my last two trailers.

you don't say what you're putting the tires on but another thing most people don't think about is load rating. I moved up two load ranges and have much better peace of mind towing my 5th wheel.

How do the load rating compare? I already know it would be the endurance because that is what I will tow home the 8th.chevman

carlisle has rep for being the cheap tire on the market also a rep for blow outs. they make lawn mower tires ,and still trying to get that right.

What do you have now and how have they held up?
If acceptable and less $ than Endurance tires, they may be your preferred option.
I actually haven't bought tires since GY Endurance came out.
Running 2 sets of Kenda Karriers on trailers that generally sit most of the year and then get towed longer distances a few times, generally above all speed limits unless the speed limit is 80!
