I know that this subject has been beat to death. It is time to get new trailer tires. I have the 225/ 15 D rated highway masters. What is a good brand of trailer tires. They seem to be overpriced. I want to get the most life for the money .
You guys live in a hotter climate what is holding up good for you guys?

Thanks

I like Denman. 10 ply, load E. About $135 a piece.

I am in the same boat and need to replace mine before a trip to the Sierras this summer. I am going with the Maxxis E rated trailer tire.

I just paid 725 for 6 Denman 10 ply's mounted and balanced for my 30 ft ww.

Nick

Go Maxxis or Denman 10 ply.

That's a great price.

Where at that price?

this guy knows what hes talkin about ^^

i personally am very happy with the bridgestone duravis tires i have on my 5er

Where do you buy Maxxis or Denman? I did a Google search with no luck.
Rob

you can get maxxis trailer tires from their website's e-store . i believe you can also get them from discount tire, but i cant say for sure right now as their website is down

prolly have to contact denman directly contacts here

id also suggest sending a PM over to DIRTADDICT, he is in the tire business and could likely point you in the right direction for your area

Thanks, is there any tires to stay away from? I have seen alot of sites with GoodYear tires for a good price.

I've been looking for tires lately too and found that the Goodyear Marathons are backordered just about everywhere. Seems that they stopped production in the US and it's all Canada or overseas.

I did find the Maxxis 8 ply (D rated) 225/75/15 at www.discounttiredirect.com for $103ea free shipping, no tax. The Maxxis website shows $138 plus shipping/tax each.

Forgot to add, the discounttiredirect site has 10 ply Maxxis for $118ea which seems pretty good.

yep, now that discount's site is back up, the 10 ply maxxis looks to be the ticket clicky

ive read and heard mixed reviews on the goodyear marathons lately. heck, the guy i bought my 5er from swapped out the marathons my trailer came with originally after he lost several on different trips when the trailer was barely over a year old. hes the service manager at johnny walker rv in henderson, nv and recommends other brands to his customers.

these are the greenball tires i had on my old WW, the e-rated 10 ply 225/75R15 i had no complaints with them. you can order greenball tires from discount as well

Magnolia Wheel and Tire in Corona. I talked to "Lupe". That price included mount and balance also.

Just ordered 7 of the Maxxis E rated tires. I went ahead and selected the replacement certificates just in case; $115 is cheap insurance given how many tires seem to have problems. I have General Ameri Trails (or some I eat poo like that) on there now and they have been good to me other than wearing quickly (no blowouts).

The Discount near my office here in Mesa, AZ doesn't sell D rated 225/75R-15's any more. Only E rated. When I asked why he said the weight ratings are at 55 or 65 MPH and everybody speeds so the rating goes down and they have tire issues. I couldn't argue with that.
The tire I was there for split, it was a D (Carliel). Upgraded to a Greenball E. So now all the tires on my trailer are E, 3 Greenballs and one Maxxis. The Maxxis went bad last weekend (bubble in sidewall). Thank goodness for the certificates.

Do not go with Titans I cannot count how many blowouts I have had. Trailer is in the body shop now getting repaired for the LAST TITAN blowout I will ever have unless one goes on the way to the tire store.And that wouldn't suprise me in the least........ Believe it or not the only tire on my WW Super Light running D rated tires I have not had one problem with and is my oldest tire........... A Carlisle.

Greenball is whats left of Carslile BTW

Doh, how old was the Maxxis?

16" Michelin XPS Ribs......

X 2, BEST TIRE OUT THERE

Wow! Ordered tires from Discount yesterday and they were on my patio today!

yea, discount has one of its warehouses out there in AZ land

I have been selling and servicing tires since 1991. I don't know everything. But here's what I do know.


Stay away from Titan, Carlisle, Duro, Goodyear Marathons, and Michelins. Titan used to be good but went out of business (or sold) and now are junk. Carlisle and Duro are the cheapest things on the planet quality-wise, gauranteed to separate. The Goodyears (marathons) and the Michy's dry rot and crack well before most other brands. This may rub the Michy fans the wrong way, but I just gotta call it like I have seen it for years and years. I shake my heard every time I see a 3 year old Michelin cracked to death.

Maxxis tires are made in China. This may or may not matter to you. But in my 9 years of selling them I have yet to see a separation. And I sell hundreds of them. They seem to have a thicker sidewall than all the other brands I carry in thier respective sizes and load caps.

Denman tires are made in the US, China, and Mexico. Most of the trailer stuff is outta Mexico. They also have a great track record with me.

If you have a 16" tire option and want the absolute best tire go with the Goodyear G614's. These are 14ply rated tires. These suckers aren't cheap at nearly 3 bills each. But they handle some serious weight which I kow a lot of us are towing. I have actually found nails that have tried to puncture my own tires and they bent and stuck to the tire vs peircing the tread. They are strong.

Here's a free lesson. Everyone always asks me how to read the manufacture date. Here ya go. Look for this info. It can be on the front or the back of the tire. And if you don't find it then don't buy the tires.


ALWAYS go with the highest load rating whenever possible.

It was 2 or 3 years old. Its the second tire to bubble on the trailer, since living in AZ (been here 4 years).
