Goodyear announces American made trailer tires

[porthole]

Doesn't look like it will help with your RV's, but if you have utility, motorcycle or boat trailers, this may be for you.

Why wouldn't it help the RV'ers?????? It's a trailer tire. The 255/16 is rated for over 4000 lbs and 87 MPH. And they are priced below $200....

My son has SOB and those are what came on it.

1st press report I read did not list 16" tires, only 14" & 15"

If you check the link that porthole provided, it talks about 16" tires. The picture in the link also shows a 16" tire.

I certainly hope these are better than the Goodyear Marathon trailer tires.

I am needing to buy a new set of 15's for the Prowler in the next couple of months.

I've been leaning toward the Maxxis 8008's.

Go ahead John. We need a Guinea pig.

Yea....what he said.

The link shows 16" tires, but who would put a load range "E" tires back on their trailer? With our big fifth wheels, load range "E" tires are near their max load. Go idea, but I'll stick to what I got (GY 614s).

You might give Goodyear a call and ask if they will repair your rig if they blow. 4000lbs, 87mph, and built in the USA seems to be light years ahead of the Marathon tires.

Not me!

I'll go with the Maxxis tires until I hear reports on the new Goodyear tires.

I wish Sailun would make a 15-inch trailer tire that is as good as their 16-inch and larger tires.

Who has what mileage on them?

They've been out for at least as long as I've been here on this forum and I've read nothing but good about them.

I think some of the earlier Bighorns came with them from Heartland, before they Switched to TowMax.

I know of one owner that had them OEM, and when he needed new tires years later, put a second set on.

The target for these tires looks to be utility, boat and smaller travel trailers. A dump box trailer would easily require a load range E 16" Tire.

I think the Bighorns and toy haulers from Heartland are now coming with Sailuns!

Yes, even our Big Country came with Sailuns.

My understanding is that 2017 Landmarks will come with Sailun 17.5" H rated tires, with Goodyear 17.5" H rated G114 as an upgrade.

17.5s would be nice. That way people like me wouldn't have to spend $4200 to replace the 16s with blowmaxs that came with it.
