I can't seem to find any D-rated 15" tires (205/75) anywhere! Gripston and Tire-Easy are sold out of the Maxxis, neither company will return my phone calls or emails. It is like they don't give a care about someone who wants to give them money for the products they sell.
Does anyone know of any place I can find these tires, or give me a suggestion for a good replacement? I don't really want to get another set of C rated tires, and can't go one size bigger.
Thanks.

Have you tried ordering directly from Maxxis? Also Les Schwab (if you have one in your area) does business with Maxxis and can special order tires for you.

Most tire shops, regardless of the brands they carry can get the Maxxis tires as a special order if they're willing. I'd call around and ask about it. There are few other brands I'd settle for for MY trailer. for what it's worth I'd be VERY surprised if you NEEDED a load range D for your trialer so if they have a C it would be plenty for your trailer unless it's a WHOLE LOT heavier than it appears to be. I've been running C range Maxxis on my 34 footer (8,000 lb) for over 30,000 towing miles.

I'm surprised to hear that you are not getting a response from Gripston. I just bought the same tires from them back in August and they were awesome to deal with. I also got them for substantially less than what maxxis is selling them for on their website. I paid approx $105/tire and shipping was included (3 day ground). Maxxis is looking for $132/tire on their website. If money isn't an object then buy them direct. If not and you can wait, then it might be worth your while to wait til Gripston gets them back in stock. Best of luck. BTW.. I love my new tires!

The Maxxis ST 205-75R15Dare all over online---good tires, too.....but the T season has slowed down big-time....not many dealers will stock them through the fall-winter months....probably get a better $$ online, too....

Please note if your rig came with load range C tires, be sure to check WHEEL ratings before mounting load range D. If wheels are rated for LR C, putting LR D on them at full pressure is a 30% OVERLOAD!!!!!
Wheel rating usually stamped on back, or in valley UNDER the tire.

I bought 4 Maxxis 205/75R15 LR D tires from Big 10 tire in Panama City Beach earlier this summer. I don't know if they have any shops in Tampa or not.
