I HAD To Buy New Tires

I would have recommended the high pressure snap-in stems.
Better made with less chance of repeat stem issues.

Is that flame enough? I also had to buy a set of Endurance as one of my Maxxis was losing the tread at less than four years.

For those that may be considering replacing their Load Range E tires to either Maxxis or Sailun or Goodyear Endurance.

I put together this table from the manufacturer sites. I confirmed all of the tires will fit my wheels. Basically, I was then interested to compare many specs but primarily:

- How much does each tire weigh compared to the other, who has more rubber?
- How does tread depth compare?
- How does number of Ply's compare?
- How does the Speed rating compare?
- Most important, any difference in Load Carry?

A couple of notes about the table. The Sailun can be run at either 80psi or 110psi (confirmed with Sailun). This makes them compatible with wheels that may not support 110psi. So in the table, I listed Sailun's S637 twice, run at 110 and run at 80.

The table is attached can be viewed here:


. Hope this helps someone.

No flame war here.

I had some of the Endurance tires installed last March and have put about 2000 miles on them. No issues and that includes sustained speed on UT and CO highways at 75 mph with a 9000lbs trailer. Good news on the Endurance. They are all new so no older date codes on them.

Good choice on replacing that previous set but I'm not going to bad mouth the Marathons. I also had almost 7 year old Marathons that got replaced which I had installed. But, mine were the USA made, before those tires got the over-seas designation. Never had an issue with the Marathons either.


Curious if there will be a pending flame war concerning the picture about balancing though ;)

LET THE FLAME WAR BEGIN!!:):)

So I went to my local tire guy whon I've dealt with in the past for my four drivers and asked for replacements...GoodYear Marathons 205 75R14 Load Rated C.

Harder to get now....but wait!

The newest GoodYear replacement tire is the GoodYear Endurance Load Rated D.

They had them in stock and sold them to me all in for $750.

Took them off at home 2 at a time and was done in about 90 minutes.

I'll sleep better now.
