While I was at the tire dealer we started talking about TT tires. I told him I wanted to change out my existing TT tires with Carlisle’s. He started to tell me about the Endurance tires and what a good tire they were but like others, since they are so new and have no history yet, I’m somewhat hesitant to get a set.
Then don't, no one can force you to buy something you don't want. However, while do you wait another few years for this proof of performance I'll be enjoying my own Endurance tires every time I tow. :B
That said, if you're at all curious place an unmounted Carlisle HD, or any other brand of ST tire you may prefer, beside an unmounted Goodyear Endurance and bear down on each with all your body weight - you'll be shocked at how easily all those other brands collapse while the Endurance barely deflects at all. And before any other pundit chimes in to claim this sidewall design can't help but result in a "harsh ride" I'll say balderdash, the set of GY Endurance tires I own, inflated to their maximum cold inflation, do
not ride harsh at all, in fact they're the best towing tire I've owned to date. :B
