I searched the web researching various trailer tire brands when I needed to replace the tires on my horse trailer. I also conferred with my brother-in-law who builds race car frames and is a guru on race car and horse trailers. He searched the race car websites/blogs that he frequents and found that several people had only good things to say about Maaxis. I upgraded to a higher load rating (from C to D, 6 ply to 8 ply), which was the highest available in my tire size. I bought my tires from Amazon, using their free shipping. They arrived super fast (4 days). I've used the trailer a few times since getting them. I have no complaints. In my research, I was initially inclined to go with one of the big name brands (one you would think is "Good", hint), but I and my brother-in-law both found several reports of that brand trailer tire blowing out even when the tires were new. If you look at the Maaxis website, you will find it is very well organized, easy to use and they are obviously a smaller business that takes pride in certain niches, such as trailer tires (they also make bike tires and my husband, an avid cyclist, says they are a good quality bike tire). I personally find this to be better than the large corporations who are selling trailer tires as an after-thought. On the Goodyear website, you can't find information on trailer tires--obviously not an area where they put any focus.
