While I was having my Westlake tires replaced with the Goodyear Endurance tires I did a little comparison between the two. The two tires had the same E load rating and were the same size and that is where the similarity ended. The Goodyears were noticeably heavier, so there was obviously more material in them. They had much stiffer and thicker sidewalls. The treads on Goodyear tires also was firmer and were not as easily pushed out of shape. It was obvious to me that the Westlakes were a vastly inferior tire when compared to the Goodyear Endurance. Having said all that, I too have seen tire load/inflation tables that recommend how much to inflate a tire based upon the load placed on the tire and frankly they make sense, but not for the Westlake tires that I just took off the trailer. Now this is only my opinion, but the sidewalls on the Westlake tires seemed so lite and flimsy that I would only travel with them at the max pressure. I still don't understand why Grand Design used them in the first place?

Has anyone had to upgrade their rims when switching to a higher load range tire that can handle more PSI?

I know you check the pressure when the tires are cold but do you adjust after the tt is loaded for your trip or when its empty? Or it doesn't make a difference.

I have a TPMS with pressure and heat warnings on it. Just blew a Westlake and the tires were at 109-110 when I headed out 2 hours earlier. The alarm did not go off until after the tire blew. And I have 16" ers. H
Still have to buy overseas tires.LingLong....
