I have a 20' glass boat on tandem trailer, my Carlisle tires lasted 20,000 miles and were trash ( running harrowed time since 16k), I put endurance tires on 2 years ago and have about 28k on them and they are toast.

The good year endurance tires are awesome! And I Am a person who says you don't air tires up to the max, in Goodyear's website there is a chart saying psi to load per tire. My trailer calls for 50psi and while I believe that to be a bit low I ran 57psi and it worked great.

The endurance tires are good to 87 mph, and that is really important with our interstate speeds, Carlisle was 67mph this is probably why they is not survive


Since this came back up, I have since gotten my second set of Goodyear endurance tires, these have over 30k on them and are still looking good, I did rebuild my suspension with "dexter wet bolts/shackles" and wow is that nice. The shackles are 4 times as thick and the bolts are all greasable , the ride is more smooth as the factory hardware was ovaled out and would slam up and down before the springs would move. Highly recommend the wet bolts kit. My trailer must track more straight with the rebuild causing my tires to last longer.
