Why?? "C" tires are rated at 50 psi and can be run continuously at that psi. And must be if they are to carry their max load or anywhere near it. The tire engineers have that figured into the ratings.
Not trying to be smart but that is what they came with.
Not sure I understand what you mean by that. Actually I was out of town and I try to get unplugged when on vacation or travelling.
I was just wondering what you decided to do.
I haven't made a decision yet. I still have time, just getting a jump start on researching the tires I think will be best for me.
If you had read my post, I stated that I will not pay $200 for a tire that may have 10,000 miles on it(probably less) at the end of it life. This is especially true when there are tires on the market that are probably just as good if not better than the Endurance. Not to mention less expensive.
I for one don't blame you. I don't think that the less expensive ones are as good as the Endurance but the price of those is ridiculous. You can get a very good quality tire for half the price and if it is not being used that much there is no need for the GY. If a nail goes through the GY tires and get run on flat they will come apart just like the other ones and road hazards cause most tire failures.
Both of those brands are on my short list along with Maxxis. Unfortunetly the Hankook linc took me to a load range SL while I have not heard of the Carlisle tire that you linked. I am looking into the Carlisle Radial trail HD in a load range DHankook makes that size (ST205/7515) in LRD for half what the Endurance costs. Carlisle too, for even less than the Hankook. Both reliable tires with solid reputations.

I am pretty sure the Carlise Reliance is made strictly for Walmart and I have to wonder if they make them the same quality as their Trail Radial tires that are made for other vendors.Hankook makes that size (ST205/7515) in LRD for half what the Endurance costs. Carlisle too, for even less than the Hankook. Both reliable tires with solid reputations.

I bought one of those Harbor freight 4' square trailer frames to build a trailer to pull behind my Harley. It came with 8" Carlisle tires. They lasted more than 15,000 miles. They finally gave out on a trip to Yellowstone and I had them replaced with Carlisle tires from Walmart in Lamar, CO. By the time I got to Yellowstone, spent a couple of days there and then exited the park toward Sheridan I noticed that these tires were already worn out. Made it to Gillette where there was another Walmart with a tire store. Had less than 2k miles on the tires and they were down to the cord. Lady manager at Walmart didn't want to warranty them, but I had the receipt with the bike mileage on it that showed I'd traveled less than 2k miles. Then she tried to tell me they couldn't mount them. One of techs was walking by as she said that and said, "Yes we can". Then she tried to tell me the trailer was too heavy for the tires. I walked to the back of the trailer and picked the whole trailer up with my bare hands (total weight loaded was like 175 lbs).
and I heard that they later issued a bulletin that Load Range C would be a better choice. So I have been running the Load Range C on the trailer I have been using Carlisle tires for 20 years (not the same set ). They have served well and never had a tire incident.
