If Maxxis 8008 are the best, Why aren't they a stocked tire?
I call ask if Maxxis are available. Nope, I can order it. I carry Carlisle.
Next call.
Do you have Maxxis available? Nope, I stock two other brands, but my
Towmaster are the best.
Two companies recommended Carlisle, and one Towmaster so far.

This leaves me wondering.... :h

I wanted Maxxis, but needed tires =today=, so went with the Carlisles as the best of the worst. I just couldn't wait the 48 hours for the Maxxis to be delivered from the Discount warehouse. I'm already up a load rating from the placard, so I don't have =too= many qualms about them.

I was thinking of going with the towmaster from les schwab because I will be up a rating from my placard.
I will be going from D to E. My gvwr is only 10,300.

Thought about the Blowmasters, but the guys at DT were all running Carlisles on their trailers, so decided to go with them. I know several on a personal level, so was getting info without the sales pitch.

But in fairness your small 5th wheel does not tax tires like the larger ones do! I owned a 1996 26' single slide Terry 5th wheel that had 15" LRC Marathon's. We bought it new in Jan 1997 and traded it in June 2004 with the OEM tires still on it. Chris
