New Tires

Ordered some Goodyear Endurance tires for my FW, HT 26.5 RLS, and was wondering if the good reviews have stopped coming in. I know, now is a silly time to ask since they will be here today, I hope.

We have a 2011 V-6 Touareg that we have towed our 3,500 boat and trailer with one time. Worked like a charm, no sway or problems. Didn't use a sway control or weight-distributing hitch.
