Title: Tires
Post by: IAMMAC on July 22, 2019, 04:39 PM
So I ACTUALLY got the boat out of the garage and went to Lake Mary with the club this past week end but had a bit of trouble on the way there and the way back.  I am, actually was running Commodore ST215/75R14 on my Triton trailer, they were about 3ish years old.  I have heard that you need to change your tires about every 3 years or so here in AZ.  I guess I got lucky with my old Goodyear Marathons because I had about 8ish years on them with NO issues.  So what brand tires are y 'all running and would you buy them again?

A big shout out to Stevert who helped my on the way back down the hill.  He graciously stopped to help and even took me to Big O tire to pick up a new tire and back to my truck with a floor jack (that's another even longer story.  It's a 205/75R14 but it fits and got me home.  If it wasn't for him I would have had to have my boat towed to my house and that would have not been cheep even though I was only 35 miles from home.

I’ve went back to Goodyear a few years ago. I put the new then Endurance trailer tires on both my boat & fifth wheel a few years ago. So far so good. But this is why I carry 2 spare tires for both my boat & fifth wheel as I’ve had trip to both Lake Mary & Alamo when I needed to use both spares!!

Here’s your pic to remind you of your pain...... Didn’t hurt that beautiful boat of yours did it?

I had Carlisle on my 5th wheel for about 3 years. When the Goodyear Endurance became available, I swapped to those.

The boat also had Carlisle, but run it with Heartland now.

Out of the new tires (5 Goodyear- 2 Heartland) zero problems. The Heartland have more miles, and are wearing better than the Goodyear

The 17 had tire debris all over the place the entire length...don’t think you were alone this weekend.  Sorry Mac....that sucks. Captain Stevert to the rescue.

It was no bother at all Mac.  Glad to have helped.

I just put new Goodyear Endurance tires on the Nitro a couple of months ago at Discount Tire.  I had Carlisle Radial Trail's on it but after 3 years, one had separated. Discount inspected the spare and the other tire and found they were not going to hold up.   The Carlisle tires had a six year warranty on them so Discount Tire replaced all three with Goodyear's for $94. $450.00 worth of tires for $94, I hope they last a while.

I've had this happen 3 times on my Triton trailer, and it's always during AZCA events. haha

I don't remember what tires I have right now, but I got them at Costco. All the ones I've gotten before were from Discount. I feel like they're Goodyear though. I've always thought that the more you use the tires the longer they'll last. Something about the oil inside the rubber moving around to keep them fresh.

I ended up at Discount today and they had the tires in stock.  I purchased the Goodyear Endurance tires, two of them OTD was $330. Now to fix the wiring cause the blow-outs trashed the brake wiring on both sides.

Looks like a few folks went with Goodyear Endurance and some have Hartland. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with either of these brands, well except I had blowout on Saturday with my Hartland Radial ST Max ST 205/75R14.  But.....  I looked at age of tires they were manufactured 22nd week of 2015??!!  I really didn't think they were that old going to ask Discount Tire when I had them installed I wonder if they were a year or two old by the time I had them installed or have I really been driving on 6 year old tires?

Max load rating on my Hartlands are 1750lbs with max press of 50PSI. Did I mention I weighed my boat and trailer at weigh scale a few months ago and it weighs 3400lbs.  Hmmmm, that lines up too perfectly.

I'm not sure but looking online the Goodyear Endurance may have load range 'd' at 2039lbs and max press 65PSI.  If that's the case, I'm going with Goodyear Endurance.  Anyone with Goodyear Endurance confirm those numbers?

I run the Goodyear Endurance and it's an excellent tire.  You may have seen them on my boat this weekend.  In any event, yes and yes on your specs, although the 65psi is max load pressure.  There is a Goodyear chart that shows what your psi should be based on actual load.  I have a tandem axle for my tank of a boat and I run all 4 at roughly 60psi.

When it comes time to replace these, I'll get the same thing...

X2 for the endurance d load range, I have been running them for going on 3yrs and no problems at all.

Thanks for suggestions - I ended up getting the Goodyear Endurance.  The Hartlands are a tad cheaper, 50PSI max press, and 1750lbs max weight.  The Goodyear Endurance are 65PSI max press and 2040lbs max weight.  I never had a problem with the Hartlands though until this last blowout, but I verified with Discount Tire that I really did purchase them in 2015 so they were overdue to be changed.

Matt I am about due for tires so far Hartland has been OK, are you rims 14" just wondering if they have the smaller 14" tire for a tracker boat in the Goodyear?

I assume 14", my Hartlands were ST 205/75R14
