Maxxis Tires

$60.00 for a lifetime warranty?
No brainer for me..

I'd get clarification on, "life of the tire."
Also is this replacement 'pro-rated' to a reduced rate the longer you are from your original purchase date?

Again, get some details.

(I have Maxxis E rated tires on our rig...they have been excellent)

Maxxis Tire Warranty: http://www.maxxis.com/trailer/trailer-warranty

What size are you buying? That price should include steel valve stems, mounting, balancing, and road hazard warranty.

Discount Tire Road Hazard Warranty @ additional $15.85 ea:

"If a tire covered by the Certificate for Refund, Repair or Replacement fails due to a defect or an unrepairable road hazard, and still has legal tread (3/32") remaining across the tire, and it has been in use less than 3 years from date of purchase, Discount Tire will give a refund of the full purchase price, together with the applicable sales tax and give you the option to purchase the same new or comparable tire at the refund price, with the payment of any applicable sales tax. There is no prorating, no disqualification for any reason such as run-on damage and no mileage adjustment. It is the very best tire certificate program we know of."

Steel stems are a good idea - thanks!

That may actually be a good deal depending on what they consider the life of the tire although I have had great success with the brand. Maxxis warrants their tires for 5 years (unlike many other ST tire makers who quit at 3 years)but not against road hazards.

Good question.
Maxxiss are the only ST tire I will use but they are not perfect (of course).
I've had two of them suffer a tread separation but they both could have been my own fault.
One had hit a large curb hidden behind a bush and then the tire shop noticed a tiny tread separation a couple of years later.
The other one had gotten a nail in it and the tread separation happened several years later exactly where the repair was.
Neither tire suffered a catastrophic failure.
The first tire was covered under the Maxxis 5 year warranty (it was 2 weeks short of the 5 years) and they paid 90% of the new tire cost. The one with the nail was on me.
So assuming the extra warranty would have covered the second tire, I would have just broken even buying the warranty.
I'm thinking it's not worth it myself.
