Tire Choices

I realize I am going to get a variety of responses, but I have to replace a tire on my 2007 Cherokee by Forest River 18-DD. These are my choices:

Super Trail
Goodyear Marathon
Carlisle Radial Trail
Triangle Radial
Akuret

Which is my best bet?

It is a 205/75R15 and I need to get something local.

Thanks,

  • I ordered the Maxxis 8008 last year nad have not looked back.
  • Given your choices, try the Carlisle Radial Trail RH and let us know how you like them. Good luck.
  • Maxxis 8008. Your local Discount Tire store should be able to get them quickly. I bought some a month ago at a Discount tire store, 215/75R14. 2 days to store. And they were cheaper than Amazon, or any other mail order store. Stop by the store. Discount Tire Direct lists the Maxxis, but the Discount Tire local web sites do not. A store rep will help you.
  • Dont buy the akuret I have never heard anything good... lots of blowouts, even when brand new!
  • Just a followup I do see that I can order the Maxxis tires from Amazon and use my free two day shipping, but I am still curious to hear other opinions on the tires I listed. I only plan on having the camper for a couple more years before we upgrade and we only take about four to five trips per summer within the state of Michigan.

    Thanks!
  • I checked online, Maxxis is not available in my area. Even from the Discount Tire according to their website. I have three days to get this taken care of before our first weekend trip so ordering is not an option unfortunately.
  • I would not go with any of those (my opinion).
    With what is out there now in an ST tire, I would go with Maxxis 8008.

    Your dealer can order them...Discount Tire will or you can order them on line and have them installed by any tire outfit.

    Most dealers want to sell what they have in stock. If you do go with any of the above, check the manufacturer date code. Get fresh tires.
