Best Travel Trailer Tires

I have been searching for the best tires to use. Maxxis comes up on the top of the list but I found "Thunderer" tires that have a "D" load with 8 plys. Maxxis is "C" with 6 ply. Any one have comments on theses tires? I have a 21' dual axle travel trailer and use ST205/75R14 tires.
  • I currently have Maxxis tires on my trailer and they've held up great for over 10K miles.

    The Goodyear Endurance tires just came out in January of this year so I have no idea how they hold up.

    One thing to consider, the Maxxis tires are speed rated for 65 MPH but the Goodyears are rated for 80+ MPH.

    I'll stick with the Maxxis tires for the time being since 65 MPH is as fast as I care to go.

  • When I changed mine, Maxxis was the choice for 14" & 15" tires. Now with the increased load rating available with Goodyear Endurance, they would have to be a serious consideration. Anything above 15" would push me to LT's.

  • After get rid of the Chinese tires that came on our TT, we put Maxxis on and have been well pleased.
  • Goodyear Endurance gets my endorsement.
    At least 5,000 miles on mine so far.
  • I prefer Ds. More important is age, pressure and weight....including a level trailer. Wish I could buy Es for my 14 inch TT wheels.
  • After the blowout of what appeared to be a perfectly fine China Bomb on our 22' TT I immediately replaced them all with a new set of Maxxis. That was the end of my tire issues for the next four years with our TT {traded it in on a Class C at that point}.

    When I got back into motorcycles and got the first of two trailers I immediately put a set of Maxxis' on each trailer{that I tow behind our 24' Class C - 7,500+ miles so far just this year}. I trusted them with my BMW and now my Harley... that ought to tell you something. i'll never used any other brand on a trailer.
