Big O Tires

Maxxis Trailer Tire is the only brand name you need to know.

I didn't know Maxxis made trailer tires, are they pricey though?

I finally got a whole sat off to go wheeling, and one tire out of the four blew out (there all dry rotted). So i need to get that fixed before the 9th so I can go if a groups going.

Not at all. I think I paid $85.00 each mounted and balanced. These tire have been talked about Big Time on several RV Forums as the best Trailer Tire on the market.

Not Utah county but give West Valley Tire a call 974-5030.
They have good prices on Maxxis trailer tires.

The only reason why I said Big O was after calling around, they had them in stock and had the best price on them.

I was going to stop by the Big O in Lehi on the way home from work tomorrow to see what they had.

I've had ZERO trailer tire problems since I bought Maxxis. There are cheaper options, but as soon as you have a blowout you'll wish you spent the extra $3.

Does Maxxis make a D-load range trailer tire?

Yes, but I decided to risk going with the C rated ones for the cost difference, and haven't regretted it. My trailer doesn't ever see really heavy loads though, just one vehicle.

If it never sees a dirt road the radials will rock. I pull my junk on a lot of dirt so I will only run bias
