Carlisle are what I am running. They are not immune from blowouts though as I found out last year.

On our third set of tires on our  12 yr. old 177.  First time going to a "D" load tire and the ride is dramatically better than the "C" rated tires we used previous.  Went with Carlisle Radial Trail HD, IMHO equal in quality with the goodyears but for a lot less $$$.

Not sure what you had as the OEM tire. If you had the Westlake traction tires and are wanting to stay with the OEM size, then you will have a better selection by going to Light Truck (LT) tires. They are usually 10ply and up to the task. Check with a load range chart for the particular tire you choose to be sure. I went with Falken Wildpeak tires at 65psi and they worked out just fine. I did consult with a couple of tire shops that specialize in RVs as well as with Forest River.

We have used Goodyear Endurance on our 179 for the past 3-4 seasons.  Love them-they don't leak down, they are stiffer and bounce less, the ride seems stable.  I will buy them again when these age out

I tried to get Goodyear in late 2021, but there were none available, so I got Carlyles and have been happy with them.  Either is a pretty good tire.

Check out the archives.  There have been a lot of discussion about tires over the last several years.

Many good choices out there. Searching a new trailer I see a lot of manufacturers are going with Goodyear endurance tires. I have been running them on my P- Pod the last four years with no issues.
