I am a fleet manager for a City fleet of about 250 vehicles and pieces of equipment. We have about 25 trailers and for the most part they never leave the City. We have been using the Goodyear Marathons and they worked for us but were a really soft in the sidewall tire. The Goodyear Endurance is all around much beefier and especially the sidewalls.
I have a 24' enclosed trailer that I put tires on a couple years ago that were China made. While not a fan at the time they were the best I could find. Westlake is the brand. I wish the Endurance was an option then as that is what I would have. Going to the 16" LT tires is the pretty much bullet proof solution used by people I know that tow alot. Failure rate to virtually zero. |

16", 10 ply LT Michlean tires stopped my problems, and towed smoother, more stable. I don't put Goodyears on anything.

I switched my trailer to Advanta 14-ply tires. They are cheap, and so far haven't given me any issues over a couple seasons. You can tell when you pick one up that they are heavy duty, and they run 95 psi. Previously I had run Goodyear Wrangler HT for many years. Both were/are 235/85-16.
