maxxis passenger car tires were recently tested among 77 other tires in the consumer reports november 2012 issue .
the maxxis tires were rated in the lowest 25 % of the tires tested .
because you are only replacing one tire and the others are 205/75r15 you may want to stay close to that size.
tire rack offers a load range D tire made by power king towmax .
that D tire is rated for 2150 pounds load at 65 psi in a 205 /75 R 15 D .
a normal ST 205/75R15 load range C tire is rated for 1820 pounds including the maxxis tire .
the rolling diameter of both of these is 27.1 " .
the D rated 2271 # cap tire costs $ 92 plus shipping .
the C rated 1820 # cap tire cost $ 87 plus the same shipping

yesterday i ordered a new set of tires from tire rack for my wife's E350 4Matic sedan .
tire rack is shipping them to a local tire shop here and they are mounting them for $ 105 on her fancy wheels .
i am taking advantage of a $ 100 rebate from tire rack for buying 4 new tires .
the particular highly rated tires i wanted were not available from local sources .
she is getting the top rated performance all-season tires V speed rating shown on page 61 in CR .
the low rated maxxis tires are rated on page 60 of that issue .
