Most warranty blather from ST tire mfg website adds I've read say 3-5 years life before replacing. P and LT tire can have 7-8 years replacement.
I'm not a big fan of any ST tire and with over 30 rv.net members having issues with Maxxis ST8008 I would chose a better tire brand or tire type.
The Goodyear Endurance has been out around three years and is popular with RV trailer owners.
Looks like your Cougar 310 RLS has around 12xxx lb GVWR = around 9500-9800 lbs on the axles. The trailer may have 5200 lb or 6000 lb axles.
For those size axles on my various trailers I use LT235/85-16 E @ 3042 lbs per tire.....and on my '97 11400 lb actual weight rv 5er.
I've ran two sets at 50k/6 years and 55k/7 years miles with no issues. I'm now around 25k miles on the 3rd set of Bridgestone R250 LT235/85-16 E commercial grade all steel ply carcass.
