    Are Endurance Tires Still USA Made ??

    I am looking to replace my Westlake tires with 14,000 miles. No problems yet, but I failed to rotate and the back tires are wearing a bit, I think just from slip and slide. I am looking at the Goodyear Endurance for replacement, but my tire guy (non Goodyear dealer) thinks that the tires are...

    Neutral Carlyle Tires

    Anyone have experience with Carlyle tires? Are they any good? I've been completely happy with the Westlake tires that came with the trailer...no issues. Picked up a screw in the sidewall on one now and they're 7 years old so time to change all 4 I guess.

    I have a 2019 Cardinal Luxury 3350 RLX, it has Rainer (China Bombs) 235/80 R16 G Sidewall, I have looked at Goodyear & Maxxis and according to the sales people they do not make a G sidewall. I want to replace current tires, but do not want to sacrifice going to an E sidewall. Anyone have a...

    G rated tires for heavy 5th wheel

    I have searched and read many threads on tires but one thing I have noticed is it is still hard to get an opinion on G rated tires. I am looking for size 235/80R16. I cannot go to 235/85R16 as I only have 2.75" between my two axles. My wheels are rated for a max PSI of 110, and a max weight...

    Rotate tires?

    I see conflicting info on the need to rotate tires on a class a. Is anyone rotating their FR3 tires and if so when? Some info checks to see the tire wear, if uneven, they say to rotate and address the cause. If the tires are wearing evenly they say no need to rotate. What’s everyone doing...

    Towing with low profile tires

    Just leased a new Ram 1500 Laramie, it has the 22” wheels and they are a little more low profile than I would have preferred for towing the travel trailer. Anyone else towing with a similar type of tire? Any concerns? Our trailer is only around 5,000 pounds when loaded if that makes a difference.

    Best approach for adjusting hitch after larger tires

    F150 pulling an FSX 260RT. Centerline WDH was setup pretty much spot on. Added larger diameter tires to the truck (about 1-1.5 taller tires). Now the trailer looks a but nose high and bars are no longer parallel to trailer. Could adjusting be as simple as lowering the entire hitch lower? Or am...

    RAM 1500 towing and tires

    So, I've read several posts about the different ratings of tires one can consider on the truck for towing. I purchased a used 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. It came with Hankook Dynapro ATM, size P265/70R17 113T SL. I run these at 35lbs, max is 44. They are in good shape and have many miles left in...

    Switch to LT Tires?

    Our 2015 F-150 with 24,000 mi has the original 275/65-18 Goodyear passenger tires on it.

So, I'm thinking of moving up to LT tires for...
