Our latest TT came with the new Goodyears on it . They are a larger tire than the sts and there rates at 85mph. I spoke to a Jayco engineer and he said the tt builders were in on the design of this tire it has thicker side walls and is designed for a straight tow. We put on no less than 7000 miles per season ..... so far so go after 9000 miles.
I will add these tires on MY trailer came filled with Nitrogen and they have only needed a pound or two of air to maintain their max air pressure.

They are likely the Goodyear Endurance. Goodyear says they are an upgraded ST tire.
On paper, it should be a better tire.

But Goodyear, along with Carlise, and Maxxis spent many years telling us how great their previous ST tires were.

The way I see it, those companies lied to us for years. Even if they are telling the truth now.... They do not deserve any more of my money.

The Endurance is still a relative newcomer to the scene. It would not tbe the first time that a new ST tire was introduced to great fanfare, and the masses rushed to buy them... Then there was a honeymoon period with glowing testimonials..... Then as the miles and years mounted up, failures happened with increasing frequency.

Perhaps this time will be different... But this new tire experiment will proceed without me.

As for the current beta testers.... If this movie turns out to be a rerun for you.... You still have the LT option. You may have to make some changes to make them fit... But it will be worth it.

Please read that the Goodyears have been out now for about 3 years. They are a totally redesigned tire with heavy side walls and are for straight towing in mind. They also inflate to 80 pounds ( another nice feature for us that forget stuff is the inflation max is in 3" letters on the side of the tire) The tire on my Jayco are quite a bit larger than those in the past also. My truck has 20" wheels and that coupled with the larger ones on the trailer does alter the towing aspect some in high winds but as with anything else in life you learn by doing. After 12,000 miles I am quite used to my setup and wind and weather are not a problem.

I know exactly how long they have been out... And that availability was thin in the begining. Goodyear wanted to push out their previous tires first.

I wish you well... Thougfh I see a lot of marketing in the statement "made for straight line towing" Really? Just what is that. ANY tire can rotate in a straight line. I bet the reas on your TV never do anything but that.
Do you have special tires on your TVs rearend? No? Then how do they meet that challanging task.

Sounds like the sort of BS reasoning they have been using for years to sell us junk.

I really do wish you well... And if it doesn't work out for you in the future... There are some of here that have found a solution that works. You can too.


Ohyeah, I noticed that yesterday it was 9000 miles. Today it is 12000. You sure do put on miles in a hurry.:B

OMG LOOKS LIKE I MISSED KEYED AND WROTE GO INSTEAD OF GOOD. HURRY AND BRING BACK THE JURY!!!!! Varys from time to time depending were we go. The info I stated was given to me from the head of Jayco engineering that spent over an hour with me explaining my concerns on my past trailers. It is not often you can sit down with someone so in tune with people that RV. You may be an above board skeptic but if you wish to learn call JAYCO and talk then and have them try to explain this tire.
