Goodyears are good tires, but basically, you can buy 2+ sets of Sailuns/Coopers for the price of one GY set---if you listen to others on trailer damage due to throwing a tread, but want it covered, then get the GYs. If you want to get Sailuns/Coopers and buy a new set at 3 years, that is what I intend to do...
Lot of variables that go into tire wear/life--just keep reading on the various RV forums and make a decision the best fits your needs. NO tire is immune from damage/blowouts--just be sure you have plenty of overcapacity for your trailer weight.

I assume GY replaced your tires? I did have all 4 of mine replaced by GY as they did have tread separation at that era of tire. The replacements have been good since. That is the only GY issue I have ever had, not a single flat of blow out in well over 100k of using US Made GY's.

RV Damage with any other tire maker and it's a claim on your RV insurance. Aside from road hazard GY will pay all damages.

YES Sailun have a good reputation for sure but the option of US VS China I prefer the reasons mentioned to the uS GY Tires.
