*UPDATE* ST tires any better nowadays?
It seems like all the ST tires you can get here on the East coast are cheap no-name brands, Maxxis not available out here last time I checked. I upgraded to LT tires (225/75-16) after my last blowout...

My take on all of this is that since the Sailun 637 hit the market and began to make a name for themselves. Goodyear decided to up their game.
I don't think this has anything to do with it at all. Rather, Goodyear had been the subject of so many poor reviews over their Marathon trailer tire, NOT built in the US, that they finally pulled it entirely from the market and directly replaced with the US manufactured Endurance. I bought a set of Endurance when one of the China bombs that came stock on our Freedom Express split for no apparent reason. Comparing the two, there was NO comparison at all. I also compared an unmounted Carlisle HD LR D tire to an unmounted Goodyear Endurance LR D in the same size and there was no comparison there either - when I put my full body weight on the Carlisle the sidewalls collapsed noticeably, did the same with the Endurance and it hardly deflected at all. I thought that might result in an excessively stiff ride but such was not the case, the trailer towed much better with very little body roll. I'd have no hesitation recommending the Endurance to anyone looking for a quality trailer tire. :B
