Replaced our stock china-poppers last February with the GYs. 12 trips and approx 7K miles later they are doing great. Went from a D to an E rating, bumped up to 80psi and a speed rating of 87 mph. What's not to love?

Same here, very impressed with the tow qualities of this setup on our 2018 ORV also. Things that used to shudder through the truck like railroad crossings are pretty minor now. Very pleased. Can't tell you how much of that may be the E rated tires, but it all helps. I think the Shocks on these trailers makes a nice addition.

Looks like I may pick a TT with TorFlex axles but it comes with "Castle Rock" tires. We'll see when I get eyes on it. Biggest issue is 14" wheels. May not have room for larger.
Thanks for all the comments they have been very helpful.

If you have 205/14 try going to the next size 215/75/14... I just replaced all four of mine on a Coachmen freedom express 281 rlds... Towed to Arizona and back over 4000 miles in a three week period.. Easy towing and peace of mind... Goodyear Endurance tires so far are great....

Last May while on vacation I nearly had a blowout due to belt separation on a Chinese made tire on our Winnebago 2101DS. Bought a full set of ST205/75R14 GY Endurance tires at Discount Tire in Virginia Beach. Finished vacation with no problems. Back in March we traded trailers for a new Winnebago 2250DS. I liked the Endurance tires so much that I had the dealer swap the tires and wheels to the new trailer because I didn't want the Chinese tires that came on the new trailer.

We just returned from our first trip for this yr with these tires. They are great. Size 205/75r14 big difference from oem tires. 65psi makes them ride over bumps better. We use tow/haul full time on our 2013 gmc 1500 5.3l sierra sle. My two cents...

Did y’all install the MorRyde? Looking into myself. Thanks

Just got back from round about trip to Houston, TX from Ontario, OR (probably 5800+ miles towing) pulling 2018 Arctic Fox 25Y w/Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15 at 80 PSI. Drove interstate, us, & state roads. No problems noted. Tires held pressure down & back. Coming home had unfortunate encounter with aluminum ladder that someone left lying in the middle of I25 south of Denver. No option but to straddle it, but caught the end of it with right front truck tire. I pulled over and found that we had bent the right rear shock on the truck & rendered inoperable the right front trailer jack. No other obvious damage to either truck or trailer. It sure felt and sounded like we hit the ladder with all four tires on the right side of both truck & trailer. No other damage located by a local tire dealership whom we always use (they have expanded into CO from their OR origins). Don't recommend this as a standard test for tires or example for expectation of hardiness, but it did reinforce the value of defensive driving (I was doing 65 with about 75 yards of space between me and the driver ahead of me who suddenly dodged left....boxed on one side and didn't have time to check the other before decision time arrived). Regardless, I do have more confidence in this tire, though I still like to keep it at 65 mph.

gwalk, glad you got through that with not too much damage.

Yes 205s so I'll be looking into to those 215s

Just got in after 1300 miles Houston to Page AZ and the tires have worked fine. They were even drug 4 down from Elkhart to HOU for delivery to the dealer! Right now no big issues. Tire pressures have held fine. They were nitrogen filled at the factory.

Found a REAL GOOD dealer! 5 star in my book. Found a way better than average new TT and 2 real good RV parks in the process. All for another thread or two.
