Default Trailer tires

Hey everyone with all the bad P/R on Goodyear Marathon and Carsile tires I was thinking on going with Maxxis Tires. I tow a tripple axle 15k . What load range would be best "d" or "e". Is there another brand I should consider?

Maxxis load E on my trailer for over a year and no problems. I can't say that about any other brand.

I would go with "e" if you can...always better to be on the safer side. I have "d" on my twin axle and I'm only towing 8k.

Default tires

Theres been some problem with them seperating . I did a search couple months ago and they were saying that when they started making them in the china plant they started having issues. I also have been running them just scared to keep on running them . My local Tire Barn guy said they have had some problems and would recommend another brand.

Same here, "knock on wood", they've been good for me. I have a triple towing at least 10k.

Forget trailer tires.

Go with Firestone TransForce LT 16" E load range tires. They work great on a trailer.

If you have to buy trailer tires, go with Goodyear Marathon ONLY.
