R280 Bridgestones on our camper. Couldn't be happier!
Bridgestone has the best record for recappable casing for many years.
I am interested in toughest casing first, ride and noise are down the list.
Ask a tire capper.

I bought a tire after a blow out in nashville, they instlled it on an inner rear, by the time I got to Indianapolis, the tire was blown apart, and had to buy another tire because they didn't do goodyear, it's not a goodyear, when I got home in December, I took the tire and the receipt with miles on it, and the unit to goodyear service in Akron Oh, and the tire is still not adjusted, just went back today, hows that for fast service, 6 months, checking back every few weeks, a tire with less the 500 miles and still has the paint marks on the tread, no adjustment yet. The manager says it has to be looked at by one of the goodyear reps. Still waiting for that to happen I guess. No more goodyears for me! I'll look at the yokahama's next. Michlen, not on your life, let alone my life!
I would be amazed if Goodyear compensated you for this as you (or the tire fitter) made a huge mistake. You cannot install a new tire on a dual without replacing BOTH of them. The rolling radius is different and you are overloading the new tire and IT WILL FAIL - probably in less than 100 miles.
Your tire fitter should have alerted you to this and your issue is with them and not Goodyear - it would have happened regardless of which make you had fitted.
If the tire was properly mated there should be no problem. The petroleum transport company I worked for did this all the time. And Goodyear adjusted them all the time. You have to measure the circumference of the existing good tire and find a tire the will mate up to that circumference. If the fitter knew what he was doing, he would have made a proper match. And 6 months for a adjustment, somebody is dragging their feet or does not want to tell you bad news.
