Maxxis tires are nothing special .
No Maxxis passenger tire has scored above the LOWEST 25 % in Consumer Reports testing .
November 2013 and November 2012 issues .
There have been threads on this forum discussing Maxxis failures .
On this forum there has been about one reported Maxxis failure per month since January this year .
Frequent readers of the tire threads have observed these Maxxis failures .
Maxxis tires are made in Asia , are ST speed rated for 65 mph , and are made to a cheaper price point like the other ST tires .
A better choice in 15 inch is the Goodyear Cargo G26 225/70R15 load range D that is made in Germany ( and France ) and has a 106 mph speed rating .
If you have 14 inch wheels the better choice is the Kumho 857 205R14 load range D and has a 106 mph rating .
Both of those choices are graded on the LT scale which is 115 % of the weaker / cheaper ST grading schedule .
Neither the G26 or Kumho 857 are placarded " For Trailer Use Only " .
