7) When you purchase new ST tires, will you purchase this brand again? So far I am happy with the Maxxis tires. If they hold up, yes I will.
BTW - My plan is to switch out the Maxxis with the made in China Goodyears for winter storage purposes and keep the Maxxis covered in the garage for the winter months.
Just another thought for this thread. Maybe we should specify the weight of the trailer and size and load range of the tire?
My tires are ST20575R14's Load Range C. My trailer weight empty is 3800 lbs. Loaded I am near 4500 lbs.
