My former Shoreland'r came with Maxxis tires. They lasted me about 3 - 4 years if memory serves me correctly. Blew one on a trip north, then replaced both tires immediately after that trip....only because one blew and the other was showing time to replace (dry rot was showing on the tire)
I wouldn't hesitate to get maxxis again. I did run Greenball after my marathon's went out on that shoreland'r, and they did well too. Last set I put on that trailer were Endurance, but like you said, only go down to 14" tires.
I had towmasters on an RV and they did well. No issues whatsoever.
I'd day Dave, knowing your rig I'd go load range D... My gut says your trailer is a 2000 pound trailer?

hey Steve, ya i believe its right around the 2000 pound size trailer, and the only brand that i can find a D load range is the Carlisles. i was leaning toward the maxxis because of the past stories of the Carlisles, but again, i dont see those in the D load range.. i was always a little concerned that that trailer was right at the max weight because the rig weighs about 2400 lbs total.
so if i go with the Ds, it will have to be the Carlisles, and if i did the D rated, does that require a different rim? i was reading somewhere and they mentioned the rim psi rating as well. didnt know that could be an issue. |
