Thanks. Came across your video after seeing indentations on my Goodyear Assurance tires on a pick up. I've run Eagles for years and never had that happen. Thought this was happening because GY made a lower quality tire for Sam's Club since this was the first time I used them.
I had a major blowout with the endurance on my triple axle toy hauler this winter, and replaced them with. TransEagle ST G-Rated 14-ply All Steel tires. Never had a problem again on any of my trailers (previous RV, flatbed, cargo) after putting these on them. The AllSteel gives you a MUCH stiffer sidewall, resulting in less sag under load, less “roll-over” in turns, run straighter, and run cooler. Even seem to improve fuel mileage .1-.25 mpg (subjective observation).
I bought a brand new Ford Ranger in 1986. Three out of four of the Firestone tires on it had those dents. I had to replace all 4 of them at almost 42,000 miles because all four of them were almost bald.
Just got my vehicle wrapped in Goodyears and 3 of the 4 have indentions like this on them. I was told that’s not uncommon and just where the tires are bonded together. I was concerned initially also
@@AdventureRocks mine are the 225/75/15 , they are five years old this year. They also have those indentations I have seen those on other tires as well. I’m replacing mine in a couple months, they have almost 30,000 miles never give me any issues.
Hi do you know why 1ton and above have 60 mph at 12 o’clock? Because when you’re towing that’s the best speed to be towing anything without air brakes. Tire indentations on tires are a common manufacturer problem. Personally I would go Michelin H Rated but I always had Michelin on my 1ton wrecker. Great Videos Thank You 🙏
That was great info on tires. Most people don't understand very much about tires or how they affect ride handling or performance. I used to autocross and road race at the local racetrack. Racers are incredibly aware of tires. We would measure pressures and temperatures to ensure we were getting the maximum contact area with the pavement. Goodyear publishes a hard to find chart for tire load and recommended inflation pressures. RV manufacturers and auto manufacturers publish stickers with inflation pressures to CYA standard. I understand this because the average Joe or Jane knows very little about tires. The published inflation stickers do not create the optimal contact patch, just the best guess for safety in all conditions. RV Manufacturers are awful as they typically just publish the max cold inflation for any given tire. My 2018 Ram 2500 Diesel MegaCab, with stock E rated tires, the door sticker said to inflate the rear tires to 80PSI and the front tires to 65 PSI. This is safe for all potential scenarios, who knows I might have tried to put 8,000 lbs in the bed of my truck! The recommended tire pressures wear the rear tires in the center of the tire tread because they are overinflated and the front tires on outside or shoulders of the tires because they are underinflated. My front tires, require more air than 65 PSI. Front tires also turn and this creates additional forces and demands on the front tires. Manufacturer tire pressures work fine if you stick to a 3,000 mile tire rotation as the tires wear evenly only due to the changed location due to the rotations. I found 75 PSI on my trucks front tires provided even wear. (**An old racers trick it to mark the edge of your tires in 3 or 4 spots with white shoe polish. Proper wear should go over about 1/8 of an inch past the corner block of each tire.**) If you weigh your truck and trailer you can see how much weight is over your axles, and then check the load inflation chart for E rated tires and inflate to the tire load inflation recommendations. I usually add a few pounds as a safety margin and I always use white shoe polish to help with a new vehicle or new set of tires. If you do this properly you tires will wear evenly across the tire tread. You will notice your vehicles and trailers ride is improved. Lastly, Let me qualify that this is advanced tire management, graduate level work. It requires that you learn about tires, monitor your tires and your vehicle weights, and are prepared to change your tire pressures as your vehicles weight changes. If you are not familiar with tires, tire temperatures, axle weights etc, Just go by the pressures your manufacturer says to inflate your tires to.
I have same issue with apollo tyres in passenger car size of 165/70/14 but company says it's okay with large profile tyres each tyre has 1 indentation each.
even with g loads , will probably run d or e pressures….if the indents bother you then have a tire shop flip the tire on the rim, in my experience one side may be perfectly smooth….othewise the rubber and construction quality of those Goodyears are better than most and I would ride those indented e loads confidently
Really nice of Jayco to add the Goodyears... tons of manufactures are adding very cheap and unreliable tires that start to crack within a couple of years. The joke is they're callled "China Bombs". Getting ready to go to these on my Sierra.
Looks like you got some spam hitting your comments section. I noticed the same on another RV channel. Both of your channels had just released your videos so maybe I’ve just not ever seen it before. Anyway just a heads up.
Hey, I have the same dents on my tires. This video does ease my mind so far but will be doing more research Thanks a bunch for this video.
Great info. That puts my mind at ease also. My tires have the same thing.
I seen the same thing on my truck tires , i ask about it at tire shop they said it was from where they were put together when maid .

I hear you, first time I saw it too and had no idea. I kept running the tires after this video and no issues.

I have a 2022 north point with the same tires and notice the same. I’ll have to look on the dates, I’ve only put maybe 400 miles on mine so far.
Good to know. Learned something new!
I had cracking problems on my endurance trailer tires. Botyom line, kerp an eye on any trailer tires cuz you never know.
Great tip
Had the same thing. And trailer is stored under cover. So not sun damage.
Just got my vehicle wrapped in Goodyears and 3 of the 4 have indentions like this on them. I was told that’s not uncommon and just where the tires are bonded together. I was concerned initially also
Thank you. I'm with you. Good to know.
I have the same tires and size on my Eagle with a date code of 0521 and they also have the indentations.
Thank you. I learned something new!

@@markfrancies8356 great to know. Thanks for feedback

I switched my Jayco endurance for G rated Sailun tires. Much stiffer sidewall and rides great.
Thank you for the great tip.
yes, I've seen these in the past and thought it was normal

I have same issue with apollo tyres in passenger car size of 165/70/14 but company says it's okay with large profile tyres each tyre has 1 indentation each.
Is there any problem driving with sidewall indentation?
even with g loads , will probably run d or e pressures….if the indents bother you then have a tire shop flip the tire on the rim, in my experience one side may be perfectly smooth….othewise the rubber and construction quality of those Goodyears are better than most and I would ride those indented e loads confidently

Agreed. They seem like solid tires.
That the ply splice nothing wrong with the tires.
Goodyear wrangler workhorse did the same to me less then 5000 miles
Interesting, thank you for sharing with us
@AdventureRocks yea they are on a Ford 2014 e250 and I was curious about this also for a while but heard it's very common it tall side walls
Looks like you got some spam hitting your comments section. I noticed the same on another RV channel. Both of your channels had just released your videos so maybe I’ve just not ever seen it before. Anyway just a heads up.
Thank you, must be some kinda bot. Got them deleted.
Trailer..not RV hate us rv owners being lumped with trailers
lol
Recreational vehicles are trailers also
I hate my trailer rv lumped in with your motorhome😮
Aren’t you special?
