Finding a tire dealer in the area that knows tires for a TT is horrible. After reading posts, I went looking for Maxxis or Marathon. I know I want radial, not the lousy bias I got on the new TT. Finally found one store that has Goodyear Marathon Red Eagle; ST205/75R14 at 107.65 each. No one has ever heard of Maxxis. Other stores have said to go with: Hecules, ST205/75R six ply at 63.87 per tire. Another, Carlisle steel belted radial at 160.84 each. Another said; Trailer King ST205/7514 (says they are steel belted) radial "C" range at 350 for 4 mounted. I thought you must have "D) range. Finally, another dealer said go with Super Cargo 6 ply radial for 79.95 each. Okay folks, give me feedback. What to do based on your experience.

Shops want to sell what they have in stock and will tell you anything to make this happen...Kind of like, "Sure, you can pull that no problem."Never heard of Maxxis...give me a break. Anyone in the tire business knows about Maxxis brand tires. They make a highly respected line of off road tires, ATV's etc. also.Go to a national dealer like Discount Tire..they will order what you want if they don't have them..like Maxxis ST tires. Or, order them yourself on line and have them installed locally.

Based on my experience? Get the most expensive tires you can afford.

heres the economical way to do this, on line go to tire rac, they,ll ship you the tires, and take them to the best shop in your area ,maxxis is the best. get them one load range higher than you need.you won,t find a better deal. all those others were china tires.

I'm looking for new tires same size as OP, the load range options seems limited as well one range higher may not be possible.

I've been running Carlisle Radial Trail RH for over a year with no problems. Relatively new design that's gotten overwhelmingly favorable reviews, here and on other sites. Do a search. I think Discount Tires label them HD instead of RH. Carlisles are pretty much available anywhere.

I don't think Maxxis is an American tire.

You are correct. What brand tires do you buy?

Personally, I would pass on the ST tires and buy LT Load Range E tires if it was my trailer. If necessary I would buy 15 or 16 inch rims to fit the LT tires.
But, that is just my opinion.

Carlisle for example has 6 lines of ST tires for trailers on their website.

Good point. The Carlisles I bought are the Radial Trail RH ST205/75R15/8 load range D, speed rating N, for $47 each from Walmart. I also bought new rims as my trailer was equipped with 14" tires originally. We are going on a road trip in August of nearly 4000 miles and I will report back after the trip.

Final manufacture in Thailand using Chinese rubber and components. They and Carlisle have the same suppliers of many of the parts.
