I too am going with Maxxis lets see who has the first blow out.

My Trailer has Carlisle tires say made in USA on the side I will be changing them soon.

I don't remember when they were made I need to check.

trailer is a 2003 so I would guess 5 years old.

Tony,
Let us know how the Maxxis work out. With all the negative stories I read on here about ST tires, it would be interesting to hear from someone who has the tire many on here feel are the best ST tires.
Good luck and have fun!!

In the process of switching from the OEM Mission tires to new Maxxis M8008's as well. TT is an '05 but just a little PM x 2 ("Preventative Maintenance" and "Peace of Mind")............

Looks like you got a good tire and a good deal, can't ask for much more than that.

I think you will be happy with your Maxxis tires. I know I've been very satisfied with mine. But, before you take that daughter camping, double check the tire pressures. Just because they were "professionally" installed doesn't mean they are right. I have checked tires that were installed by nationally known tire shops that have varied by -6 to +12 psi. Always remember that some guys slept through math class.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!
