Hello, I know this has probably been already beat to death but I am trying to decide what the best option for replacement tires for our 2013 coachmen Catalina. I am trying to stay away from the China made tires as of their reputation for blow outs. I have been looking at the Goodyear Endurance trailer tires and the Carlisle Radial Trail Hd tires. The size of the tire currently are 205/75R15. Any feedback on either of these tires would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I put a pair of Carlisle radial trails on a cargo trailer and 5 Maxxis on our TT. Both about a year and a half ago. I did upsize the TT tires one size to get more load capacity, but both are performing well so far.

The size of the tire currently are 205/75R15.Carlise HD are made in China, Goodyear Endurance in the US. Place an unmounted Carlisle HD beside an unmounted Goodyear Endurance and the difference will be obvious - the former will collapse easily as you put your body weight on it, the Endurance barely at all. Yes, I've done it, and made the decision to mount Endurance on my own Coachmen. :B

I'm waiting for more reports also before I get some. My local discount tire store...32 sold and zero problems so far. Real helpful reports will come in couple years when they have more years of use on them.

Just put another 2,000 miles on my 205/75R15 Endurance last month.I did pick up a screw and had to put on the spare. Patched by America's Tire for free upon return.14 months and very happy so far.

I had my china bombs replaced with Endurance, have done several trips with them so far and really like em. Noticeable difference from the china bombs that came with the trailer.
