Specs:
This tire has a limited warranty with free tire replacement on workmanship defects. You are eligible for this warranty within the first 12 months from date of purchase or the first 2/32" of usable tread, whichever comes first.
This radial ply tire from Goodyear is constructed with double steel belts and triple polyester cords for increased durability. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation and an inner liner made out of halobutyl rubber reduces air loss.
This Goodyear Endurance tire was built with Durawall technology, which is used on a lot of Goodyear's light truck tires for severe, heavy-duty use. This technology consists of a rubber compound that reinforces the sidewall to help prevent cuts, punctures, and other damage. Furthermore, the tire has a scuff guard, which is the raised strip of rubber on the sidewall. This protects the tire from abrasion if you hit a curb.
And unlike standard trailer tire tread, which has solid, continuous ribs, the automotive-grade tread on these Goodyear Endurance tires has ribs with breaks. These breaks allow water to run off to the sides. This greatly improves traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions.
The tread also consists of decoupling grooves that run along the outer edges of the tire. These grooves help evenly distribute the pressure that is put on the tire from contact with the road. When this happens, the grooves wear out faster than the surrounding tread, which minimizes irregular wear, especially when you're towing. Additionally, these outer edges usually heat up more quickly than the rest of the tire, and these decoupling grooves help keep it cool.
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Goodyear Endurance ST 235/85/R16 radial trailer tire, in the load range E. This is a radial trailer tire, it's great for highway use, and it is a special trailer tire designed so couples the strength of a bias tire with the durability and stability of a radial tire. It is crated specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use of any other vehicles. On this Goodyear Endurance, they actually use an optimized tread depth, and on each shoulder they use a decoupling groove, which will help keep the tire cool, while towing heavy loads. On the inside they use a special inner liner, which minimizes air loss in the trailer applications, because they use 100% Halobutyl rubber. They do use a Durawall technology, it helps resist sidewall cuts and punctures, and then they even have a little raised are right here, which is a scuff guard.
Helps provide sidewall protection. This is a polyester tire with two steel belts. They do use a nylon overlay, offers improved durability and carrying capacity.Now, this is compatible with TPMS, the tire pressure monitoring system. It does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications. And unique with this Goodyear tire, is that it is made in the USA, which for trailer tires is unique because most trailer tires are made overseas nowadays.
This one is still being made in the USA. A few specs on this, this tire's designed to fit a wheel of 16 inch by six inches wide. 16 by six and a half inches wide, 16 by seven, or 16 by seven and a half inches wide. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST for Special Trailer, 235/85/R15, the R designates that it's a radial design tire. Section width on this size is 9.3 inches.
Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 31.7. This tire is a load range E, which means it's a 10 ply rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity, if it's used in a single tire application of 3640 pounds, and 80 PSI. Or if used in a dual tire application will be 3200 pounds, and 80 PSI.The last thing I do want to mention is most all the new trailer tires are meeting speed ratings now. Speed rating, they'll designate by a letter designation.
Where that is, if you go down by the bead here, you'll see the tire size, and then right after it is two numbers for the load index, and then the letter N. Speed rating N will mean 87 mile per hour speed rating. That should do it for the review on the Goodyear Endurance ST 235/85/R16, radial trailer tire, in a load range E.

Fast delivery, tires are good. Always satisfied with etrailer products
Great tire. I travel with confidence. I use a trailer TPMS and these tires inflate consistently with temp and hold.
I purchased it as a spare for my trailer. I haven’t had to use it, so that in itself is a good thing.
Excellent tires! I am especially fond of the 87mph speed rating which I consider to be essential Texas (85mph posted in some spots) and the western USA (80mph posted in many places). While I do not tow trailers at those speeds the quality necessary for the speed ratings means additional margin of safety at the lower towing speeds especially in extreme heat.
Good tire, I even bought 3 more so now I have 4
Fast and accurate service

All aspects of my transaction was A+++ from the ease of the online order, Customer Service communication and the shipping/receiving aspect of the tires. This particular trailer size tire was difficult for me to find in person and I was dead-set in getting these no matter the wait under the current Covid circumstances with the supply chain. I can see why these Goodyear Endurance tires are rated so highly...and so is etrailer. This was my first ever online tire purchase...it won't be my last! etrailer.com - thanks for everything!
Review from a similar Endurance Radial in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I run these on a trailer for a 17 foot fishing boat and have been very happy with them. They run great at highway speeds and the sidewalls can handle bouncing off the rocks and ruts I sometimes encounter when I’m going fishing further off the beaten path. I can’t say much about longevity yet because they’ve only been on for a year and don’t have many miles on them. When I researched trailer tires it seemed pretty clear that the Taskmaster Contenders and Providers are popular and I do have a Contender for a spare on my boat trailer, but if you watch for these Goodyear Endurance to go on sale they are hands down a better option. I found them cheaper from another retailer and used etrailer’s lowest price pledge because I love the customer service you get from etrailer. When comparing the Goodyear Endurance side by side with the Taskmasters the quality is far superior. Goodyear made the right choice to make the Endurance in the US after the issues they had with the Marathons when they were no longer a US-made tire. Bottom line, watch for a sale on these if you’re on a budget because you won’t regret it.

There was a manufacturing delay to produce the tires, but etrailer kept me inform of the delay and even offered a substitute tire. I indicated I'd wait for the goodyear endurance tire. They arrived today. Great service from etrailer and company. Their price was great too.

Very pleased with the Goodyear Endurance tires. Put 10,000 miles on our camper and had no issues. Ride was smooth, couldn't tell the 35' camper was behind us. Big trucks did not sway the camper. We will purchase the same tire when we need to replace these.
KAREN C - 11/15/2021Review from a similar Endurance Radial in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I wanted to replace my factory-installed travel trailer wheels and tires from 14.5" to 15" diameter, plus improve the wear resistance to a Load D rating. We still wanted to maintain the Retro look of our trailer, so we opted for the wheels that supported the original shiny half-moon hubcaps. After receiving all the parts (one damaged hubcap was quickly replaced; I recommend shipping them in a different box than the heavy wheels), I spray-painted the wheels a bright red, to support the original color scheme, then had them mounted and balanced by the local tire shop. I then installed them; they look great! Paula was a terrific help with the order processing; made it all go quite seamlessly!

Although we had a delay in shipping because of the backup etrailer was great with their communication about the delay in the order and offered a replacement product. I declined and waited...the shipment came a few weeks earlier than estimated and were in perfect condition!! Thank you so much for another good quality, affordable order being completed!!
Review from a similar Endurance Radial in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I ordered these tires for my camper trailer as the tire sidewalls were showing signs of dry rot. I had a minor glitch at checkout but was able to complete my order with minimal effort. Customer Support was exceptional. I received the tires in just a few days and they were shipped in separate cardboard boxes. This made mounting the tires much easier than when nylon bands are used to wrap tires together as this can cause issues with setting the bead. The tires are now on my trailer and they look great!!

These tires were not available anywhere in October-even from Goodyear. Your store was the only one who took a back order and they arrived at the projected date. They were also a good price ($125.00 each). You also gave me a status update.I'm very pleased with my purchase and your store. Thanks!

Tires came as predicted considering the time delays due to the Covid situation. I will not be able to install these great tires on our 5th wheel until the spring. We live at 9,000 feet in the Rockies. Thanks!
