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

the tire dealers make no money on bthem so do not stock them

It is all about profit margin and distributor, dealer relationship.By the way the salesman's mantra no matter where you go or what you buy is "My product is the best" That is how they feed their families

Most tire dealers have access to a wholesaler with a delivery system that will get them tires the same day or next day. They only stock the heavy sellers and then order others as needed.I chose to wait two hours for my Michelin XPS RIBS to be delivered from the warehouse to the tire dealer rather than take what they had in stock.
