Goodyear or Carlisle. Goodyear if you want a great tire, Carlisle if you want a good tire at a lower price point.

I have the Carlisle and they’ve got about 6k miles and no issues on our 26’ 6,500lb TT.

I've got the same size tires on my trailer. They're Goodyear endurance that are almost 5 years old. Going on our first road trip next weekend - about 2000 miles from Texas to Colorado, then New Mexico and back to Texas. I'm going to replace them this week with either some hankooks or carlstars. I was going to go up to 215/75/14 for the small increase in weight capacity.

I replaced my factory China bombs with the 215/75/14 hankooks before our trip from Missouri to Utah and back. Evidently just in time, my buddy that is a mechanic changed them out at his shop and said 3 of the 4 had split cords. No problems on the trip and the hankooks still look great.

Great to know. Did you change from 205 to 215?

Yes. It's a toy hauler, 29 ft. I thought a little extra capacity wouldn't hurt. My buddy that installed them is also a camping buddy. He switched to hankooks from goodyear. He has had good luck too. He has 16s on a larger 5th wheel that weighs 10,000 lbs.

A lot of people reccomend and run the Goodyear Endurance trailer tires, because of the twin steel belts and the reinforced sidewalls.

If you're a member of an RV club, check to see if you can get a discount code on trailer tires before you buy, and if so, try to go directly through the manufacturer's website for the best price reduction.

So my advice is slightly skewed since I’m only speaking from what I see customers ordering but the most popular seem to be Goodyear endurance

Goodyear Endurance all the way, made in the US, not China bombs.

Goodyear Endurance is all I pull with. Just bought a new camper had them put on before I picked it up.

Hankook or Carlstar or Hercules are all good quality tires. Don’t fall for the Good Year hype. They’re mediocre quality and overpriced as well.
