Hi, We have a 2011 Jayco Eagle TT, 28.5', Dry Weight 5690, GVWR 7500. We are the second owner. The OEM tires have aged out so I'm about to replace them. They are Goodyear Marathons, Load Range C, 205/75R15, rated I think it is 1895 lbs ea. We haven't had any problems with them. We generally go camping 5 nights at a time, about 6 times a year, with the occasional longer trip. We do not load heavy, so for sure we are well under GVWR for the TT. However, we do live in the desert Southwest, so in summer, sometimes we do tow in high heat, though we mostly travel in the mornings to ease the heat strain on the truck and the TT.For safety, I want to upgrade to at least Load Range D tires. I have already bought online and received, 4 Greenball Towmaster SS Special Trailer Radial Tire from Costco.com. They are Load Range D, rated for 2150 lbs ea. But before I have them mounted, I want to take a final look at this, as they are still returnable. I did research on a number of trailer tires online, and it seems you can find good and bad reports and reviews on almost all of them. The Greenball Towmaster tires are no exception -- I find mostly happy owners with the occasional bad review/report.I'm looking for any specific tire suggestions for our application. Thanks in advance!

"it seems you can find good and bad reports and reviews on almost all of them."Not almost all of them....all of them. The tires you bought will work fine.

I believe the best ST tire offered right now are the Maxxis Radials. I haven't seen a single bad review on them yet and is what I will be purchasing next without a doubt. What is the speed rating on the tires you purchased?With that said, if you are like me and plan on replacing tires well before they are worn out, I wouldn't worry too much about using the ones you already have.

Don't forget to get metal valve stems when you have them mounted.

I would have Goodyear Endurance over Greenball.Just had a tread separation on my Maxxis so not as excited about those anymore.My trailer is about the same at 7880 GVWR.

I just looked that up and the chart I found says an M speed rating = 81 mph. Wow, surprisingly high! I generally try to keep it under 65 mph when towing.Thanks, I'll check out the Maxxis Radials.

I just had 4 Goodyear Endurance installed a couple weeks ago. The specs and ratings so far on this new american made tire looks impressive.

I have a 2014 Eagle 266 RKS and had D 8 ply rated tires. The first tire blew out at 6000 miles. I removed all the D rated tires and installed E 10 ply rated tires. The load capacity went from 2200 lbs. per tire to 2840 lbs. per tire. Also the tire pressure went from 65 PSI to 80 Psi. The increased tire pressure creates less rolling resistance, les tire squirming from side winds( better stability) and my towing fuel mileage went up 1 mile a gallon. For the minor cost difference go with the E rated 10 ply tire.
