For those who have had problems with the Maxxis M8008, it would be interesting to know the country of manufacture as Maxxis has a few plants. My reliable Maxxis tires were made in Thailand. I have ordered from Amazon twice and both times the tires were only weeks old.
Also not all Maxxis ST tire sizes has the nylon cap which may explain why some owners have had issues with the 8008.
Per Maxxis web page add;
"?Full nylon cap available in selected sizes for improved uniformity and durability".
But they don't say which sizes don't have the cap that I could find.
The cap seems to help hold the tires tread/casing together as the tire side scrubs while backing or going forward around corners.
