Same thing here. Did two years on the factory tires and did the Goodyear Endurance this spring.
New tires have enough of a load rating that if one goes the remaining weight would be under the load rating on the remaining tires.
When one tires goes, and it overloads the other tire, both tires should be changed. In this thread alone you hear stories about tires failing in pairs.....that is a contributing reason. Aircraft have a min PSI that if gone below both tires on the same gear have to be replaced even without a failure.
Going to Yosemite from the east next week.....that road isn’t an easy tow with lots of drop offs....I will feel better with quality tires.
