Been away for a long time and even longer since I bought tires for my fifth wheel. Years ago I bought a set of maxxis tires (who knows how long ago, I can't remember). The tires themselves look good, no checking and good tread. Thinking they are older than 7 years, I'm thinking of replacing them. Back when I bought them, people were raving about them and after all these years of use, I can see why. My question is, since technology changes at such an alarming rate, are these tires still the way to go? What other tires are good quality trailer tires that are dependable? What do most people run on their trailers and why? Thanks in advance

I just ordered a set of Maxxis this week after researching the same. The 3 that stand out on the forums seem to be the Maxxis, Sailuns, and Goodyear G614s. It was hard to find local dealers that sold any of those in my area but I was able to buy the Maxxis online, direct from the factory. They are on sale 25 percent off right now (in Canada anyways) and they ship for free.

If you have 16 inch wheels you can get Bridgestone Duvaris R250 LT's, people seem to really like Sailun tires as well if you have 15 inch wheels.

I am not as excited about Maxxis anymore. Mine did not quite last four years.Same with the previously recommended Denman Express. (3 years)Now I am on to the new Goodyear Endurance.If your trailer is big enough to to go 16" by all means get some LTs.Either way I recommend a load rating that covers the full trailer GVWR.

If you have a 15 wheel then Maxxiss is the only choice IMO. However, if you have 16" wheels you have many choices and I would go with a good LT tire.

INMHO, Maxxiss is the way to go.
