He said these were by far an important tire upgrade. period. The light truck tires do not have the rigid side walls that these new ones do and are not made for straight line pulling.
Like I said this was a head guy from Jayco and his info was invaluable. To bad all of us do not have access to people other than sales guys that have other interests.

LOL...the guy needs to stick with his product. His statements tells me he's not very knowledgeable about ST or LT tires.

Give him this blog http://www.rvtiresafety.net/2018/01/why-do-trailer-tires-fail-more-often.htmlfrom a actual tire engineer (Tireman9 ) for him to better educate himself on the subject of ST vs LT tires.
There are dozens of subject matter for days of reading about tires for all types of trucks/motorhomes/trailers/etc.

ROTFLMAO.

What exactly is so difficult about straight line pulling that requires "special" construction?
And LRE LT tire have plenty stiff sidewalls.

It appears that this new endurance tire is a LOT closer to LT type construction, including a higher price point that was previously unavailable in STs.

The 100,000 question is whether enough people will pony up the extra $$$ for what MAY turn out to be a quality ST tire.



The second big question is will the long term testing live up to the hype.

Please realize this isn't some nobody that has an "opinion" but an engineer that has real world information that has credibility behind it. The difference from listening to some lay person is the difference between intelligence and hear say. These tires have been out there for a year and a half and the folks on this thread have told of good things. Wake up.
