Your thoughts on Transporter Tires?

Unfortunately I have ST225/75R15 tires on my 5th Wheel. I need to replace the tires again. I was looking at Maxxis M8008 but then my tire guy said they have had good luck with a Transporter 10 ply tires in that size... and he said they are about $120.00 less per set. Anyone have experience with this tire?

Pay the $120 for the Maxxis or go with the Carlisle RH, as a 2nd best. I have the Carlisles because I couldn't get the Maxxis in a hurry. So far, I'm in my 3rd year with not a lot of miles, and they look great. I keep them covered and stored on boards while in storage. Yeah, I'd've paid for the Maxxis, but Discount doesn't regularly stock them, so it takes 2-3 days, which I didn't have at that time. If you're truly concerned, spring for 16" wheels and go with an LT like Michelin Ribs or Bridgestone Duravis R250s.
