Myself, I am not a big believer in their bad reputation based on personal experience and using many of their tires without a single failure or flat tire… I do believe Maxxis is the best ST trailer tire for RV use…
No free ride for Maxxis from me… I have long been a critic of Maxxis for their distribution system even though I am a fan of their M8008 tire… even though they have a great reputation and I believe there is a good reason for it, I am still skeptical because of their minor market share…
and
I am pretty well satisfied that today Maxxis is the only choice I have for a dependable tire, although their distributions system is the pits… something I addressed with Maxxis USA several years ago and was told they were working on that issue… I haven’t seen a lot of improvement in distribution myself since then…
And
Distribution and the lack of it is Maxxis biggest problem… I don’t know why they can’t solve their problem with it, but it hasn’t improved much since they told me 2 years ago they were working on it and had several unnamed national distributors in the wings to come on board… they have to loosen up the territorial rights they give their distributors a little…
But that’s ok you know everything,
