Where are the Maxxis is perfect brigade beating their drums? They are curiously absent here.

The silence is deafening.

Well - turn on your hearing aid!..:W

Don't have (nor have I ever had) any Maxxis tires.

However, in opposition to 4x4 Dodger's obvious bias (no pun) and negativity..:R.. - -
Maxxis has an excellent reputation and owners experiences are overwhelmingly positive.

Soooo - unless the tire is over 3-4 years old - I would have a chat with a Maxxis rep.
Be good to have a chat no matter how old - even if only for the opinion.

Also -
1. YES sun will do bad things to a spare sitting in the sun - even if it's not *Arizona* sun.
Covered -in the sun- may imitate an oven, increasing the heat.

2. Not that it matters - but sure appears to be an overly aggressive tread pattern for a trailer tire...:h

I have absolutely no bias on these tires one way or the other. If I am biased in any way it is just that I prefer Fact over Myth or Anecdotal evidence.

I happen to think that Maxxis tires are probably as good as any other trailer tire, but certainly not greatly better. I would have no qualms about buying a set. And I find on this site that many of the Maxxis cheerleaders are also the Goodyear Bashers.

I noted their absence because if this post had been about a Goodyear tire they would have shown up en masse to point out what garbage they think Goodyears are.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE to support a contention that one brand of trailer tire is inherently better than the next. I am speaking here of the Name brands.

I dont think that attitude on my part constitutes neither a bias or negativity. What it actually shows is an open mind and a preference for facts.
