Trailer Tires
I am in the market for new tires. 2003 Wildcat Forest River 26fbs I see that Sams Club carries the "Greenball Transmaster" E rating Any one have any idea about these tires?

I haven't seen a Maxxis ST tire that didn't come from Thailand.
I hear this alot but not having seen all of them I am not sure and the company is mum on this.
However having quite a bit of experience in manufacturing overseas especially in Asia I can say with certainty that while Thailand has excellent facilities and workforce, it's workforce is generally not as well educated and literate nor as motivated as China's. Thailand is on the verge of "First World" status in many ways as a developing nation But China outranks it in almost every way. The reason alot of this manufacturing is moving FROM China to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and even a little to Laos is the wages are generally quite a bit lower than in China.
I am sure Maxxis tires are good. But when I look at what the Big Rigs run as trailer tires I never see a Maxxis. Generally Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo, and so forth. But Maxxis seems to have a good rep.
