I will not enter into that debate here and now. If you choose to have it done, be sure that they use a lug plate to do it. This because most trailer wheels are lug centric, not hub centric. Using the hubcentric method on such a rim is a waste of time and money and could even make the out of balance worse.Deano_1 wrote:

Endurance replace the Marathons.
I run Endurance on two trailers. Northwood and ORV install Endurance at their factories.
I have no issue recommending Endurance.
Just be sure to get all metal valve stems and also have the tires balanced.
Tire shops hate to do it as it takes more time, and a lot of them do not have the lug plates. I have witnessed several times shops not doing when I had requested it. Ask for it, and watch them to make sure they do it.
