Unfortunately, my camper came with 14" wheels and LT tires for it are scarce to none. I thought about buying new 15" wheels, but that is yet another expense on a limited budget. I just ordered 4 new Maxxis tires with a higher load rating. Hopefully that will give me better durability.
I, like so many other owners, am very frustrated by the shoddy quality tires available for our campers. The realization that severe damage can be caused by these overloaded and inferior tires is my biggest worry on the road. Before leaving and at every stop I diligently inspect my tires for damage. In comparison, I seldom glance at my truck tires because of my confidence in them.
Whether a company has repair facilities or not should not prohibit or excuse them from standing behind their products. It has nothing to do with tire construction or statistics and everything to do with good business principles. I wonder how many tires Maxxis has sold based on the glowing reviews from sites like this and how many sales others, like Greenball, have lost as well. Perhaps our actions will cause them to improve their products and when that happens we'll start praising them as well. That is the power of forums like this and how we all gain from our collective experiences.
