    If it is a Reflection that you ordered, then, yes you will get Goodyear tires.

    LOL...I'm really not concerned with them. I'm a fanatic with my tire pressures and use a TPMS to monitor them and the tire temperatures.....plus they are the LRG. I have a triple axle T.H., so six tires with a tire capacity of 4080 lbs per tire at 110 psi. So the trailer tires will have a total of 24,480 lbs, sitting on three 7K axles. My trailer weight is normally around 18,500 lbs and about 3800 lbs of that is on the pin. So that puts about 14,700 - 14,800 lbs on the axles and tires. That gives me roughly a little over 1600 lbs per tire of excess capacity. I'm good I think. In fact, I would be well over the combined axle capacity long before reaching the maximum on the tire capacity.

    And you are 100% correct....our favorite campground is in Townsend and about 35 miles away from paradise.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Firestone tires. Ford uses Hankooks (mostly) on passenger cars. I can't recall what they went to on trucks as I put on after market tires.

    I switched the Goodyear Endurance tires for my Grand Design Imagine 2800BHS after 25,000 miles on the original Westlake tires. I made the decision after looking at a variety of reviews. It has been a expensive and poor decision which I regret. I use TPMS with the iPhone app to monitor pressure. It was a savior for me on 2 occasions. Two tires developed slow leaks around the valve stem requiring me to install the spare along the I-95. After the slow leak issues, we were travelling north on I-95 in South Carolina last week when one of the tires literally "blew up" and the rim was sheared off the tire hub. Fortunately we were able to get off the highway and with the help of the SC Highway Patrol we got to a truck stop where there was also a shop to perform the repairs. We spent 20 hours at the truck stop. We are members of the Good Sam Club roadside service and they were totally worthless. After almost 2 hours of talking with them, they told us that they could not help and we were on our own.

    Both my wife and I are confused about tires and are quickly loosing confidence in towing our Imagine. We love the camper (have owned it roughly 600 days and have spent 150 nights in it) but we have been tainted by all of the tire issues. There has been a tire issue with almost every trip we have taken.

    Anyone have any advice?

    Have you scales your individual tire weights to make sure load is balanced? Also are the axles True and not causing wear and hear due to alignment issues.

    This is true. Production runs this month will have Endurance tires.

    That’s some good news. Now I wish they would use the MORryde Rubber Pin Box and SRE4000 suspension on the Reflection 5th too and we’d really be talking. That GD factory pin box does nothing for the ride.
