Trailer tires

They are E range, at least the ones discount tires has in my area.

Are the Endurances Load Range E?  I won't put a Load Range D tire on the trailer again.  We tow way too much for that....learned my lesson.  Put big boy tires and look after your bearings every 5 years or so and forget about it.  Focus on the lake. 

I’m pretty sure mine are load range D, 215/75/14 and the speed rating is down from 99 to 87

@BlindSquirrel are your tires 14 or 15s?

I don't think there *is* an e-rated 14" tire, but happy to be proven wrong.  When I recall looking at this years back, you had to move to 15" wheels to get e rated tires.

Not in a 14".

The kumho 857 was an E rated 14” very firm ride at 85 pounds or something like that, but it was a red herring and now extinct.

Yeah, my current tires are the 857's and they are E's on a 14" rim. 

Man, you guys are ruining my day...now they are gone and the new stuff isn't Load Range E in my wheel size....common Kuhmo!

What is the axle weight rating on your trailer?  Mine is only 3500 pounds, “D” rated tires have more capacity than the axles. 

[martinarcher]

Mine are also 3500 lbs.  I have just found that load range E tires last longer and do not flat or slip belts like a load range D tire.

$522.86 out the door for 4 Good Year Endurance mounted and balanced. Discount tire. Did not buy the Certificates @ $20 each as I don't think I will own this trailer in 3 more years.

I think you'll like them.  Mine are only 2 years old and my trips are typically short - 5 miles each way to launch, with a couple hundred mile trip once a year.  But what normally tears my tires up is the nearly right angle turns in and out of the driveway which loads the sidewalls hard and drags the inside tire sideways.  So far no damage.

I like all of them for 2 years and about 10 months. Mine are used about the same as yours except have more weight on them. Sharp crank into drive way every weekend probably takes it's toll, but still, that's why we buy Trailer Tires for the severe service!
