Greenbal Tires

[robrose1]

I am in need of new tires for my rig. Presently I have Carlisle HD tires on it and they have been very good. Tires are 8 years old and have sat for the past 2 years. They look good but I dont trust them. My local Sams Club is selling Greenball and the technician says they have had zero issue with them. My local discount tire has to order Carlisles if I want them again. Any thoughts?

I've seen mention of Greenball over the past 7 years but nothing negative I can recall. The main go-to's are definitely GY Endurance and Carlisle, unless on 16" wheels it's Sailun.

I have switched over to Good Year Endurance and am very happy with their wear and performance. With the rising cost of doing business because of the rising inflation in our country. I have har to shop around more so I bought my tires from Tire Rack.com he saved me a lot of money. I got free 2 day shipping to a location of my choice.. I had to buy to get them mounted but even that cost added on I still managed to save over a 100.00 dollars for the two tires I bought

Greenball manufactures Towmaster. Also known as Blowmaster. I had a set that came on my new 5th wheel. Blowout at beginning of 2nd season even after continuously checking pressure.

Every tire shop I've been in had a particular ST brand they sold and of course tire store employees would say they are the best and have had no issues.
The Carlisle HD first came out in late 2016. If you had good service from them I would stick with them.
You may save a few bucks buying the cheaper Greenball ST tires with no service record. Doing so may come back and bite you in the butz down the road. OR you can roll the dice and.....

Good that you don't trust them as ST tires just don't age as well as P or LT tires. Some are under the impression that they have to purchase tires that are in stock or locally sourced, but any reputable tire store can get any tire brand regardless of where they are located in the country, most within a few days time.

We have purchased tires from both Samsclub and Costco in the past and their service was good, but typically we use Discount Tire as they have locations everywhere making it so easy to get tire fixed or replaced same day. Keep in mind, tires store will always suggest tires with the highest profit margin first.

Is there a reason you need an ST tire? You might look at LT tires if they come in your size.

Have never heard of them, but reviews on Costco web site are pretty good. F tire has load rating of 3,960. They are China made.

I've no experience with the Greenball, but the Carlisle HD, GY Endurance, and Provider STs, are all of newer design, higher speed rated, and IMO a better choice.
