    I have the 16" version on a utility trailer used to haul a car. They've worked well for me and seem much better than the tires the trailer came with (3 out of 5 tires failed within a year). The Maxxis have been working for about 3 years now.


    There's a heavier duty version in the same size too. I would suggest the heaviest weight rating you can afford and that your rims will take (max PSI rating on the rims). I would even consider getting the tires with the higher ply rating and running them at a lower PSI if my rims didn't support the higher air pressure.


    Thanks i seen those they are only about $10.00 more per tire and are 8 ply. Will have to see if the rim are rated for 65psi.
  • I have been using Maxxis tires for the past 25,000 miles or so without problems. Mine are the 225 variety and not the 205 though. There are many discussions on these forums about the Maxxis tires with almost all of them favorable, with a few detractors.

    Previous to the Maxxis, I had Goodyear Marathons for about 15 years (3 sets) also without problems. Here are search results on Maxxis tires over the past 12 months. Hopefully you will find some useful information there. :)
