Took The Maxxis Plunge

Just ordered up 4 new Maxxis 8008 load range E for my Wolf Pack toyhauler. Really don't like having to replace the tires exactly 1 year from when I bought it, but I guess it's a small price to pay if it avoids me having a China bomb blowout. Found a place locally that will mount them for $15 each, seems like a fair price to me.

Will they balance them?

I'm assuming yes, but will make sure when I actually take it in.

I just replaced brand new chinese tires with the same Load E Maxxis. The chinese tires looked incapable of handling the weight with the trailer just sitting. The Maxxis are much stronger and seem to do great.

Maxxis Plunge

Recently put Maxxis L/R 'D" on my Windjammer; amazing the difference in towing & stability. Wish I would have done it sooner.

Got mine delivered, had hoped to have them installed this weekend, but looks like I'm going to have to wait another week. Even the UPS man noticed how thick the sidewalls are on the Maxxis

Finally got my new tires mounted up. Replaced all the crappy veneer lug nuts that came on it too. For just the short ride home it definitely feels like it rides better on the new tires.
