I also had the Maxis 15" tire on my trailer, load range E.
That was a very good tire.
Main thing during the season if it sits outside is to cover them & Always check your
tire pressure before going to the next race.
And Great advice by Tom Goldman with the valve stems.

OK after two Blow Outs ... !

Who makes the best trailer trailers tires other than Goodyear..
Looks like they are a great tire and the most expensive.

My wagon for towing uses Nitto's as they have a load ratings 250 lbs better than any other tires.

$128 a tire is hardly expensive if you factor the cost of damage from a blow out or worse if you loose control !

That was not my point..
The most expensive does not mean it is best.

Tire Rack?

After blow outs on my Motorhome (G670's and FYI the G159 tires referenced by Painter are subject of a big class action suit) and exploding Goodyear Marathons on the trailer (replaced with Maxis Load Range E with great results) I'm a little gun shy of GY but have to admit the Endurance are getting good reviews. If you have Marathons on your trailer you are tempting fate.

Discount Tire is were they bought them , free shipping , they bought wheels and tires, think the tires were 105 each , 235/15

Marathons were good back when they were made in the USA, I went cross country in 2001 with marathons on my trailer in the hottest part of July, 115 degrees some places, no problems.

In 2002 , I bought a Gold Rush trailer with 16" and I have duravis(brigestone ?) on it and they are great

What was the brand and age of the 2 blowouts ?

6 ply Loadstar's on a Featherlite trailer and 4200 lb Car.

Bought the Trailer and was near new though 3 years old.
It was rarely used and the tire looked brand new.
The owner did not need it anymore and sold it

After about one year one tire blew out and limped home on three tires.

Then replaced with a new set, saving one of the older tires for a spare.
Got a nail in one and used the spare...it was the spare that blew out.

The Trailer rides very slightly nose high working the rear tire a little more.
Have a few ideas to make it drive more level.
