Tire Life
At the risk of hearing flames from the extremes, how long should I really expect TT tires to last? My situation: I have a 2005 Jayco Eagle 298BHS (8000-9000lb loaded) with Maxxis M8008 ST225/75R15...

Thanks all for the feedback.
I've just scheduled to replace all 5 (spare was >10yr old) with Maxxis load range E. Tires Plus didn't have D's available, and believe it or not the Maxxis E's were cheaper than I found Carlisles for.
Net-net I've kept the Maxxis but upgraded to E's as well as upgrading 9+ years (insisted on 2013 date codes). Wasn't too worried about my current tires for short runs, now I won't be worried at all and can start longer trips with this trailer when I retire next year.
As always, thanks for the feedback.

Are your wheels rated to handle Load Range E's. If not, you might want to reconsider finding D's or upgrading wheels.
How do you find out if your wheels are rated for E rated tires?
