I'm going to replace the tires (2005 DOT code) that came on my recently purchased 2006 3023. After reading everything I could find on the forum and calling my local tire stores (I don't have a Discount Tire nearby), I'm trying to decide between the Maxxis and Towmaster tires (225/75R15 D). The Maxxis total will run me about $75 more for the 3 tires, which I don't mind paying if there's added value. Are the Maxxis worth $75 more? The dealer said they have seen much lower failure rates on these brands than the Carlisle (which are actually a little more expensive). Either way, I will be getting the metal valve stems and making sure they lift TM by frame and not axle (Thanks to great info on forum).
