Hard to find Maxxis Tires

Why is it so hard to find Maxxis Tires. I have been asking my Discount Tire guy for Maxxis but he can't seem to get them. I cannot find any other Maxxis dealers near here. Love them but I can't wait forever.
  • Maxxis has never been a mainstream tire in the supply system. There are a number of rumors that Maxxis is dropping their ST tire line.

    Who wants a tire that is that hard to obtain? The OP would be wise to switch to 16" rims and LT tires if he has 15" rims. He can then get a tire anywhere without waiting for someone to order one.

    And he will put tire problems behind him so to speak, and be able to watch the road ahead and not his mirrors all the time.

    I would suggest that Discount doesn't want to find them. They would much rather sell you what they have.


    Our Les Schwab dealers are the same way. You have to push them to get Maxxiss.
  • When I asked for them at my Discount Tire store, they had to order them in (from Arizona). Got here in less than a week.
  • Dealer locator shows 10 Discount Tire stores in my area that sell Maxxis ST tires. Not sure how long they would take to get though
  • I had my Discount Tire location order some today. He said that they were being shipped from Georgia and they should be here this weekend.
