I would continue to watch them closely for issues and go with what you have until they have a bit less tread, or when they hit over 5 years of age. There are lots of cool things you could use the money for such as another new lithium battery lol . BTW, because it was asked, many may not know that with a dual axle trailer, one of those axles will skid the tires sideways while turning, that axle's tires will always wear out faster than the other axle's tires as long as everything else is in good operational order. ~CA

It was a easier decision for me because of the blow out, load range c tires are what I consider light duty.

Suggest with the new tires use Aerospace 303 protectant, no silicone in the it and keep them covered when the TT is sitting.

Covers are cheap and the sun is heck on exposed tires.

Thanks for the input, that's what I figured with the 2 wearing faster than you other, being on the back axel.

If you do change them out, take a look at Hankook, I’m very happy with them!
And Ford advertises that they will beat any competition!

Do you know the actual load on each axle? Is one significantly (+5%) more than the other? Is the faster wearing axle the heavy one?

I've never weighed them individually.

I'm going to vouch for Carlisle Radial Trail HDs.

I've had them for 3 years now, and over 20,000km on them.

Currently, they're measuring 7/32s remaining.

I'm heading on a 10,000km trip this summer to the West coast and have no concerns about these tires.

My trailer is stored in my shop when not in use, so that keeps them out of the sun, and I block up my trailer in the off season (October-March).

Carlisle HDs are really well rated and if Endurances are wearing that quickly, I would not be pleased.

Thanks, but I'm happy with the endurance.

RE reduced tread depth.
The primary reason for tread pattern is to provide traction on wet, muddy and dirt roads. You need to remember to slow down if you hit any of those conditions when you have a worn tire.
