    Imagine Line gets Goodyear Tires

    I spoke with Tim at GD factory sales office & he told me the Imagine line began getting Goodyear tires as a mandatory option in early June. It adds $391 to the MSRP.

    I noticed the recent price increases are also reflected. When we ordered our 2670MK at the end of April the website MSRP was $42,692, now it's $48600.

    Keep your ProPride! It may need it! But welcome to the 2670MK club. We've loved outs.

    I wonder beyond bad-mouthing of Westlakes for years, how much pandemic supply problems from China played into the decision to go with Goodyears?

    Good news Dave, definitely worth mentioning. This is the announcement posted by Goodyear online when they were first introduced.

    Introducing the Goodyear Endurance American Made Trailer Tire:
    Goodyear Endurance

    Built in the USA
    Increased tread depth and a decoupling groove technology to assist in keeping the tire cool
    Sidewall protection thanks to scuff guard that helps support a longer tread life
    Overall reduction in Air loss due to a halobutyl rubber inner liner
    Durawall technology to protect the sidewall from cuts/punctures that may occur
    Inner fabric-steel structure that supports higher weight capacity
    The Goodyear Endurance is the new and improved trailer tire everyone is talking about. Being made here in the United States, Quality and overall dependability is redefined with the durability and internal structure of the Endurance. Regardless of what type of trailer you may be hauling from a boat to construction, this tire will reinstate a sense of confidence while on the road.

    With load ranges available from D and E, even the largest load capacity trailers have an opportunity to experience the quality Goodyear has to offer. Not to mention, the Endurance trailer tire has a speed rating of N which is compatible at highway speeds for all of you spirited drivers who find yourselves pulling the boat to the lake for the weekend.

    They obviously switched to better tires for good reason.

    Customer request's for ability to upgrade, quality US made product by a company with a good reputation, negative online reviews (with photos) of certain brands failures and damage to rvs, customer peace of mind...

    Take your pick.

    You know this to be fact?

    It had nothing to do with supply?

    Maybe you're on to something. It is possible that there is such an extreme demand for tires manufactured in China that they couldn't get enough to fill their orders. So, to solve the problem they substituted tires made in the USA by reputable company and made it a mandatory upgrade or downgrade depending on one's opinion of the matter.

    I'm not trying to speculate, but could it be possible that the tires are failing at such a high rate that they can't manufacture them fast enough to keep up with demand? Therefore, that would ad some credibility to your supply theory. With millions of them out there...

    Don’t take this the wrong way but this is fake news

    The failure rate that someone mentioned from reps at grand design is less than .1 percent

    They are not failing at high rates at all
    Just the people that make mistakes and have blow outs are very vocal
