Hi all. Have never had tires changed on my TT, so this may be a dumb question. Is this something that requires dropping the trailer in lot at tire store and coming back later? Or do you make an appointment and wait while they install while hooked up? Thanks in advance!

I have done it both ways. Usually the seem to like it hooked up but do make an appointment at their convenience. They are three block from my house and have to order the tires and am retired so time is on my side.

If you have Discount Tire in your area go see them. I was on my way camping on a Friday morning with my Reflection 5th wheel a couple of years ago. Noticed a big ole roofing nail in the sidewall on my 2 month old Westlake. Went to Discount, no appointment, and they had 5 Goodyear Endurance in stock. I was in and out in an hour no kidding!

I have had good results using Maxxis. Endurance are good tires I think, but mileage was disappointing, only about 12000 miles. Good decision to replace Westlakes. I had a tread come off one that was less than two years old and less than 15000 miles. I drive less than 65 at all times and keep them inflated to 80 psi. Good luck with your choice.

I've had Endurance on a previous trailer and think they're excellent. Rated at 85MPH by Goodyear. I really felt the trailer rode a bit smoother, especially at 60-65 MPH and over rough roads.
As an FYI, if you have (or get) a Goodyear CC, you can have 6 months no interest on purchased over $250. When we bought the Endurance tires for our 2016 Jayco (now gone, replaced by an Imagine 2600RD) we got a $150 rebate AND 6 months no interest. I'm considering changing over the Westlake's that came on the Imagine with Endurance tires.
Endurance tires are made in the US and we put over 10k on them. When we traded in the Jayco, we had over 50% of the tread left and no checking on the sidewalls.
I also agree with terryriddle, make sure you run a TPMS (I also run TireMinder). You will really like the piece of mind knowing what's going on with the tires.

Endurance
I changed my RV tires (goodyear marathon- china bombs) to Goodyear Endurance. The performance pulling the 26RLS is night and day difference. The Endurance tires stopped the side to side swaying of the trailer. The side walls are very dense. Also, the fuel mileage increased slightly. Pulls straight and true. I purchased these at Discount Tires due to nation wide service availability.

The one thing I found is a requirement to give a tire company like Discount Tire and a number of others... I require the manufacture date to be within four months of the current year and all four or five to be within three weeks of each other. I found one place that had tires over a year old, meaning I buy tires that will be changed out in three years. I never run a tire more that four years from the manufacture date... Just me!
What changed for the new GD...
