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.

Discount tire shows both RH and HD. The RH has a higher speed rating (N) than the HD (M) according to Discount Tire. On the Carlisle the HD has 10% greater tread life, AND doesn't show up in the catalog (had to search the site for it).

I'm not sure if that means the HD is newer (so not in the PDF catalog yet) or has been deprecated..
