I’m replacing my Westlakes which came standard on our 2021 2500rl with the Goodyear’s.
Forget the “internet “ test. Go compare them next to each other in person, I just did. It will become painfully obvious of the advantage of the Goodyear’s. Bend the sidewalls of both. Push down on the crown of the two tires standing up. Again painfully obvious.
So it come down to risk vs reward, or risk avoidance.
1- is there a safety component. You bet. A blowout is not conducive to having control of your vehicles. We could get injured or even injure others
2- is there a financial component. You bet again. Spending $600 on new tires vs thousands on skirt repairs when not if they let go.
Its kind of insulting to call the dedicated posters who have had legitimate issues and opinions “ a few loud people”
I remember when only a few people were killed driving Ford Pintos when they were rear ended and the cars exploded due to. Faulty design. A faulty design known to the company who determined settling the lawsuits was cheaper than changing the millions of cars.
So the premise put forward by NB Canada that “ a very few loud people that have had issues amongst the many thousands who haven’t “ doesn’t really pass mustard. I would not follow that advice. I intend to replace these substandard tires that I was provided.Donna and Dave

This was my experience also comparing GY Endurance with Westlakes and also to our previous Castle Rocks.
After receiving the tires from Discount Tire Direct, in both cases I took two wheels off at a time to my local auto shop. There, after dismounting the old tires, I pressed down on each brand and could immediately feel that the Endurance tire was stiffer. I think it’s due to GY’s Durawall Technology:

The Endurance tires were also heavier then the other two brands.2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

I would not chanche the new tires because of the brand.
Let me first calculate if the maxload of tires have enaugh reserve, to make them last up to 10 years!!!!.
And that is for ST 30 % , and LT 11%, to my conclusions.
For that , give tire specification, and GVWR, GAWR('s) and configuration ( number of axels).
The right stuff
