Maxxis tires?
looked on search ang didnt see anything on subject.
Looking to replace my racecar trailer tires.
16' open , 5500 GVW on trailer.
I was running 7.00-15 "C" 1720lbs@45psi and never had a minutes trouble.
Will be running 500miles round trips next season and need some tires to stand up to 100+ temps on summer days.
Looking at the maxxis st225r-15 for an Ag supply store. 2450lbs@65.
Has anyone run these tires and what were your experiences?
Thanks to all replies...............ron

I run a shop that deals in lots of tires and in my experience I would run the Carlisle Radial Trail 10ply if I we you. The problem is that almost every ST trailer tire is made in China, but a few tire manufactures that are USA based seem to have a higher build quality and when there is a problem with the tire they are more likely to warranty the tire. It seems to me that Carlisle makes a better tire that costs about the same price as the import brands. But if you had 16" wheels I would recommend the Hankook F19 in the 7.50 R16 because they are like a little semi tire and hold up better than any trailer tire I have ever scene.

I you go over on the other RV forums. Maxxis is the most well liked of the ST tires. They are made in Thailand, I put 4 new Maxxis 225 15's on my 5er Load range E and I really like them as it pulls much easier than the older tires. Main thing is to air the tire to spec that is printed on the tire.

Thats odd, I have sold hundreds of trailer tires and have had many come back with defects but only one Carlisle, it was a long time ago and I remember it because it was odd, I think it was ran low and had a hard life of very sharp turns. But never the less Carlisle gave a credit on it anyways even when I didnt think it was there fault. Carlisle make a great trailer tire and really backs there product especially if you are talking about the radial trail.
