Went to the Tampa RV show yesterday to check out the 338 TT like the one we have now. Boy what a difference 4 years makes, a lot of new features and other things changed to make them better. The one ...

For a long time, proponents of "ST" tires have cried for a higher quality ST tire. I have said all along they "could" build a better ST tire.....and what they would end up with is a "LT" tire. So what was the point ? Now we have a "higher priced ST tire". Choose it if you like.
I switched to LT's years ago. I use 16" LT's ( Firestone Transforce right now ) on both my bigger trailers. 14,500 gross weight. 4 horse slant GN, and 24' GN equipment trailer.
To those who think a LT "can't take the side loading of tight turns, I once again make my statement that some of these folks need to push away from being internet keyboard cowboys, and come out to the real world (oh boy, now I'm gonna be labled a hater and a smart-azz ). I spin these heavy trailers around in tight spots as needed.....where I go with the horses in this trailer, I don't have the luxury of choosing where to turn around often.
Same with the equipment trailer. When the bobcat is on there, I need to take where it needs to go, not where I desire to have an easy turn around spot. The LT's have worked without fail.
On my newest small 2 horse trailer, it has 15", so I fit GY Wrangler HT in LT size.
While talking to my GY shop owner we talked about the Endurance. He said they are selling quite a few of them, and so far so good. Then he paused and said, "it's still just a ST though...."
So you can take that comment however you like. He's made a lot of money selling and replacing the Marathons over the years. Time will tell on the Endurance.
I have LT's under this travel trailer I'm sitting in right now as I winter in Arizona. 40K miles and five years.
Best of luck and safe travels to all of you no matter what you choose. I've made my choice based on my real world experience.
