Tire recommendations

I am going to put on new tires before my long trips in July.  2017 Tab 320S, purchased used and don't know how many miles the previous owner had on them--they look fine but I'm going to replace.  I see a number of people here recommending the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75r14.  My mechanic also said to do some research on the Tow Max STR2 Multimile tires--he uses them on his 2 flatbed trailers and his RV trailer.  Anyone heard of these tires?  Any experience with them?  Thank you

A quick look on the internets brings up concerns about the sidewalls and blowouts. The Goodyear tires don't seem to get bad reviews.

@tabiphile that also what I saw but very few reviews--just wondered if anyone had used these-Thanks!

I used Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14s on a tandem axle boat trailer for years.  Best trailer tire I ever had.  The boat and trailer was about 6000 pounds. I bought my fist trailer boat 29 years ago and have had one ever since.  When my current boat trailer needs replacements and when my Tab needs replacements this is what I will be looking for.

I just replaced my factory tires with the Goodyear’s back in April after experiencing a blowout.  Can’t say enough good things about them.   Super quiet.  Great tow.   And I pulled the RV down some pretty crappy old forest roads and they were awesome.

Just replaced the original Boondock tires on my 400. After a lot of research, went with the GY Endurance.  Not as cool or tough looking but after 1200 miles, a good decision.  Improved mpg about 1 mile per gallon, feels a lot smoother, less noisy, and I don't seem to notice that I am pulling a TT as much.  Plus, it looks OK.
