I've had good luck with Maxxis as well as the Endurance. I've logged well over 100K miles on a combo of Maxxis and Endurance with zip issues.
But then I have a TPMS which has caught a slow leak from a nail which likely prevented a blowout situation.

Goodyear Endurance has been out around the 6 year mark now and has a much better service record than Maxxis ST8008 did at their 6 year mark.
The biggest neg on the Endurance is its very thin tread at 8/32" which works fine for the majority of rv trailering public who will never wear the tire down to the tread bars.
But expensive for those who travel 12k-15k plus miles a year. Of course trailer weight/tire maintenance has much to do with tire service life.

My GY Endurance tires are 5 years old. The only thing I don't like about them is they don't start life with much tread depth. In comparison, I've found they have 1/3 less rubber than some brands.
I'll be in the market next spring and still not sure who I'll go with.

You are going to love the reason they do not have much tread. "shallow tread for cooler running" LOL![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")
I kidd you not. Of course it is also cheaper to produce.
I have a low opinion of ST tires having owned more than I care to remember. Another goodyear blast from the past quote: "fewer sidewall cords for better heat disapation" Do you see a trend?
They are like a politicion spinning a negative into a positive.

I have two trailers both with Goodyear Endurance tires that are over 2 years old. I just had my first tire issue last week when one of the tires picked up a 2" long drywall screw. Otherwise, they've been completely trouble free.

After 5 1/2 years and over 24,000 miles of trouble free towing, my Kenda Karrier tires all started separating at the same time. I would have been happy with replacing them with more Kenda tires, or Carlisle or Goodyear Endurance but the only one of those 3 brands the local Discount Tire had in stock was the Goodyear. I'm hoping for another 5 year problem free run with these Goodyear tires.

16" rims good option.
15" rims show me a LRd let alone LRE 15" LT tire
they are very rare, not really a viable option.
