ENDURANCE Tire Life

[Cummins12V98]

I am reporting my 4 full Summers use of ENDURANCE ST 215/75R14 "D" Tires on my Boat trailer loaded weight 7,000# riding on the tires. I can say for certain I have towed 15,000 miles and half of that being at 70mph. ZERO flats or tire problems. Tread depth at this time is 5/32". 8/32" new tread depth. MFG date 2517. Installed July 2017. I am running 45psi.

Due to axle issues and tire scrubbing, I've had to replace 3 of the Endurance tires, but the one original left on my fifth wheel has 33,700 miles and is about to get replaced. No problems with the tires themselves. I just wish they came with more tread depth...only 1/4" new.

I would bet if you took a cheap TowMaster tire turn it down to 1/4” put two on one side and ya ENDURANCE on the other side you will get many thousand miles with the ENDURANCE.

Personally I would rather have a set of tires that may not get as long of mileage but gets you there with zero issues.

My brother in law and Son in law BOTH run Goodyear Endurance on both of their travel trailers....

They have been running them for probably 2 years/ maybe 4,000 miles with good results so far.

I've always ran P tires on trailers with 3500 lb and lighter single and tandem axle trailers. Most trailers that size can use 14" and 15" sizes. A 3500 lb axle = 1750 lbs per tire at max loads.
Their good at any speed and with 13-15/32nds of tread depth I was getting in the 40k+ miles per set.

The C/D/E Endurance is one of the better ST class tires and work great for most rv folks. With only 1/4" of usable tread depth many rv users will time out before the tread bars show up.

Based on info I provided any estimates on miles I will get when they are to the wear bars?

I thought they were aged out and you were giving them to me?






Hahahaha

I like you but not that much. 😉

Not sure at what depth the wear bars will show, but I think by 30,000 I would be changing them. If same use continues that will take another 4 years, and time to change them out.

Thanks for the tire review!

I was guessing 25-30k.

If only it were stamped on the tire in HUGE LETTERING.

Please explain.

[Cummins12V98]

I think people really need to understand what the side of the tire says.

It does NOT say inflate to 65psi. It says “For MAX load inflate to 65psi”

Lookat the weight/inflation chart for that tire. It’s probably a bit higher than it should be.

[bgum]

We have about 9000 on ours and inflate to 60-65. We also run at 60-65 mph.

Always good to know what tires are working and which ones have issues.
