Another tire question

I am buying a enclosed trailer that needs tires. From searching it looks like Goodyear Endurance, Carlisle trail hd, or Maxxis M8008 are suggested, is one better then another? Anyone find any deals on line for them? Any rebates or coupons?
Thanks
Mike

I had issues with DURO, Denman, MAXXIS. Moved to Endurance with fingers crossed.

I went with Carlisle because I needed a 13" load range D that was high speed (81 mph) rated. Carlisle was the only one that matched.

Put 15,000 miles on a pair. 75 mph on the freeway. Washboard dirt roads to hidden places. Very happy. Just replaced them a month ago.

They tell me there are no rebates available and prices so far are from $133 to $170 each. Still checking

Yes, the Maxxis is another good ST tire and it was a 50/50 toss up for me, I flipped a coin to decide. ๐Ÿ™‚
I was tossed between the Maxx and the new Endurance Before I made my decision , I checked the boat and horse forums. The Marathons had issues on boat and horse trailers and many of those owners switched to the new Endurance tire with good results so far.

Many stated the endurance has a stiff sidewall where flexing is reduced to the point that they can see it in the side view mirrors as they roll down the road. Owners say they ride smooth and some have said fuel mileage increased 1 mpg. They also have an 87 mph speed rating and are built to distribute heat.

this is from the GY site:

" Available in Load Ranges D and E to accommodate larger trailer load capacities, the entire Endurance trailer line carries the N speed rating allowing consumers to travel at highway speeds. The Endurance also contains a wide range of features, including:
โ€ขAn optimized tread depth and decoupling groove, which help it remain cool while towing heavy loads;
โ€ขRugged fabric-steel construction, which offers improved durability and carrying capacity while remaining compatible with tire pressure monitoring systems and typical tire inflation stations;
โ€ขA specialized inner liner, which minimizes air loss in trailer applications; and
โ€ขA scuff guard, which helps protect sidewalls.
In addition to introducing the new Endurance, Goodyear has unveiled a brand new, special trailer size: ST 255/85R16. The Endurance is the only tire on the market available in that size".


I think both are good choices but only time will tell on the new Endurance...so far, so good.

You don't say what size tires it can takes, or what the axle rating is. You may be able to use LT tires, which gives you a greater range of quality choices.

If you use a Goodyear card you double the rebate . The rebates change , it will be whatever it is at the time of your purchase. I just got $160 back on 4 GY Endurance at $111 each . Mounting, balance plus new metal valve stems plus a road hazard warranty will be negotiated by you and the dealer.
I just bought 4 new Endurance tires , the warranty was explained to me stating , "The GY / RH warranty is not prorated and replaces a damaged tire at no cost to you". The manager waived the mounting, bal and valve fee. The RH warranty was $20 per tire for 3 yrs.
Each tire = $111 + $20 . price for 4 was $131 x 4 - $160 was good enough for me. I might have done better elsewhere but I don't have the time or care to shop around .
