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.
I have 5 different trailers and have run the whole gauntlet of st tires with failures of every major one. Now i only have Saliun St's on one trailer and am happy with them, the rest i have changed over to LT tires... Wrangler HT's on two of them now and Bridgestones on two others. I will never ever go back!... Well maybe once a tire gets like 5 years of good reviews i might.
