TT Tires, recommendations for online dealer? - Page 2

Goodyear Endurance - only one I'd consider - from Discount Tire. Have always been very pleased with their prices and service.

Simpletire.com, great prices, 3 days to your house

Ended up going with the GoodYear's. Way too many of you guys swear by them for me to ignore. They have a shop about 3 miles up the road and are installing them on Friday. Found a 15% coupon so the price wasn't that bad all said and done.

Thanks again everyone for the great feedback. I'm sure it will help more than just me if it hasn't already.

I can't really suggest an online dealer for tires, I bought my replacements from a local dealer.

I bought the GoodYear Endurance. Thus far no long trips yet, but several short one and they seem to be wearing fine pulling the TT.

Maybe there are better tires out there, but these have been good.

Discount tire .com will beat or match any other price you find online and ship to nearest store located to you if there's one close to you. I towed my TT to then as they had a spot for rv's.

When they do the install, you might want to have them put in metal valve stems. Better for a TPMS.

Camper is sitting next to my house ready for my appt tomorrow. I'll inquire about the metal stems. I don't have a TPMS yet, it is on my shortlist.

Where did you find the coupon for the Goodyears?

Coupon code is TIRES15. Saved me $82.20 Not sure how long it's valid, but I think it's good for this month at least anyway.

vavtx · 02-01-2021, 07:46 PM

Thank you! Did you use that code on the Goodyear website or somewhere else?

Directly on the GoodYear website, after you add the tires you want to the cart, there's a field to add any promo codes, it worked perfectly when I used it for my order. I know they rotate through the codes semi-frequently, but it seems to be a pretty consistent one from what I've seen.

To be honest, all I did was googled 'Goodyear coupons' and a bunch came up. That's the first one that worked when I tried it so I just ran with it. Might be able to do better than 15% off though

worth a shot.

One thing I would advise anyone buying from the goodyear site directly, I learned this the hard way - Call the shop they hook you up with after placing your order. Don't wait. The 'installer' they had me initially heading to could not accomodate my camper in their lot, and I had to drive cross town in heavy traffic, small streets to get to one that would. I lucked out because the other shop was also in Goodyears 'network' and they had the tires in stock, but for a while there it looked like I was going to have to totally cancel and reschedule the whole thing for a later date. I have to store my camper off site, so this could have been a major pain. Anyway, that's the advise

And it's also kind of why initially when I started this thread I was planning on just taking the wheels into the shop, leaving the camper here at home on jack-stands. I will probably do that next time.

What is your model of trailer? I am trying to find the tire size for my 2019 Jay Feather 27bh but that spec is apparently illegal to post on the internet because it is nowhere. I don't have access to my trailer and Dexter may not cover the damaged tires from the bent axle. So I'm trying to get my ducks in a row.

deano · 03-20-2021, 04:57 PM

I have a 2016 jay feather 23rbm tire size st 205/75R14 if that helps

gypsmjim · 03-20-2021, 06:16 PM

Goodyear Endurance from Tire Rack .com

DON"T buy bare tires. Buy new rims and they will mount and balance for free with new valve stems. The out-the-door cost will be lower.

The mounting costs will be lower than what you can spend locally, plus now you have a set of mounted old tires that you can sell on Craigslist for a couplabucks. Saving money all around.

I have a 2016 Forrest River Wildwood X-Lite about 27' long. The tires are Goodyear Endurance and the size is 215R75 14. I bought them last Fall and really have not been able to use the RV very much. Unfortunately my wife fell and broke her right arm in two places, so that is holding us up this Spring. Don't think I will have any real long trip with the new tires, but planning to go to Lake Kissimmee this late Spring, about 400 miles one way, should have a good feel for them by then.

It's in my sig, but the exact tires I ordered are:
ST225/75R15

Sorry... Can't see your signature. It's one thing I don't like about mobile versions of forums.

Did you have to upgrade from 14's to 15's? I'm pretty sure my trailer has 14's.

bansai · 03-22-2021, 07:35 AM

2016 27BHS Elite, mine came from the factory with the 15's.. I guess it's possible that was part of the 'Elite' package. Not sure anymore.

crockettlarry · 03-22-2021, 08:41 AM

I guess it must have been some sort of upgrade. I went to my dealer yesterday and looked. They are 14's, 205/75R-14's to be exact.

I want to upgrade to 15's, but that just isn't in the cash works right now, despite the gummint giving me my money again. If Dexter forces me to buy the two new tires, I'm happy that they are the slightly cheaper 14's in the Goodyear Endurance.
