Replacing Tires
I like many others have decided to change the tires on my one year old 29 RKS. I have read comments about different brands choices. Before I pull the trigger, I would like to check with everyone else and see what you have chosen and what road range you have decided on? The three brands that I have been looking at is Maxxis, Carlisle, and Goodyear. Thanks for any and all help.

I went with the Carlisle tires early this year and put about 6,000 miles on them. They drive great, have kept their pressures nicely, seem much smoother than the old ones, and I can't really find a negative about them. Our local RV shop sells all of them and couldn't find anyone who has really complained about the newer Carlisle tires.

Goodyear, Load Range E for our TT.
Be sure to check your rim's max pressure before you buy.

I changed the tires out on our 27DSRL to Goodyear Marathon right around the time they moved from production in China to the new USA made Endurance trailer tires. I ended up with the Chinese Marathon and while I wasn't overly happy I also wasn't specific enough to be mad at the dealer for installing them. They ended up being great tires and wore way better than the Trailer Kings that came on it and were pretty toast after 10k miles.
I'd get the US made tires without a second thought if I were doing it today.

Your TT is a lot heavier than mine. I replaced my tires about 2 years ago with Carlisle HT. I reviewed a lot of tires, even made a spreadsheet that documented each tire option. I decided to go up one load rating. Verified the rims could support the higher air pressures.
The Carlisle tires hold their air very well, I almost never have to top off the air pressure. I also went with metal valve stems. I probably have about 5000 miles on the tires, and have been very happy. I also changed out my spare.
Its winter so it’s a good time to do your research.
I went with Discount Tire, I chose not to go with the extended tire warrenty. I picked up a nail this summer. I found a flat tire at home, after sitting for a few weeks . I pulled the tire and Discount Tire fixed it for free.

Mt 27DSRL is about 7500lbs fully loaded out to max. I upgraded as soon as I could from Load C china bombs (rated to 65mph but I wouldn't go that fast with them) to Goodyear Endurance Load D (rated to 80+ so I will go 65mph with them). Been a little over 5,000 miles so far and the hold air pressure and look brand new. I love the way the TT towes with them and also not as bouncy once set up at site.

Oem aluminum specs are hiding, any insight for their rating?

Have fun finding any specs on the wheel, mine had nothing. I called Jayco and asked if I want to go from load C to E am I ok. They said I am fine since I have a six lug wheel, its rated to 100psi. I run the Endurance tires at 80psi, put about 5k miles on them with no problems at all.

These are the two common aluminum wheels I have seen on jayflights in the last few years.
Altitude
T03
You can find your wheel size and see the max load rating in the chart.
Now, look here https://www.carlislebrandtires.com/o...adial-trail-hd to find your size tire and see if there is a higher rated tire that matches your wheel.
Example, my trailer had 205/75 15 LRC tires with Altitude 15x5 2150lb capacity wheels.
I was able to upgrade to 205/75 15 LRD tires that are also rated at 2150lbs.

Not sure what your tire size is. I have the Ranier 205/75R-14 on my 2016 23RLSW.
I plan to put on new rubber next year before my extended trip across the US.
The Ranier are a load range C. Looking on the internet, the Goodyear Endurance and the Carlisle ST tires in that size are Load range D.
That alone makes one of these 2 my choice when I change. I don't need the extra weight capacity or higher speed rating, but that's a safety margin I will take.

Another great feature of the Goodyear Endurance tire is it has an inner liner which minimizes air loss in trailer applications because of 100% halo butyl rubber. I ran these tires all summer and the pressure never dropped from 80psi

Goodyear is a good brand, just try to hold out for a deal if your current tires can wait

I have till May of next year to pull the trigger. America's Tire (Ca.) carries the Endurance but I never see any specials run on trailer tires.
I've purchased tires and wheels for my cars from them before so maybe they'll give me a cut on price and installation when I decide to buy.

Discount tire... they run specials all the time.. they just ran the $100 off a set of 4 "best" tires plus if you have their cc you get another $60 off they run the specials on tires about every 60-90 days or so...

I think Discount tire is basically the same company as America's tire here in Ca.
I'll keep an eye out for any sales and maybe go talk to them when I get a chance.
