many times each season I see a camper with damage from a tire blow out. I enquire,observe the failed tire, Never seen a blown Maxxis or Hercules.
I frequent other RV forums and other forums (boating/agriculture/construction/commercial haulers/etc) that some type of trailer is used. Lots of tire complaint threads.
We have over 20 RV.net members that I've seen who had the usual belt delam/tread separation with their Maxxis ST8008 tires which is about the norm on other trailering websites.
The Maxxis ST8008 may be popular on this web but certainly its not without issues nor is it as popular on other websites.
Hercules has been a popular truck and car tire brand around here for years when they were USA made. I have no idea where their made now but their new into the ST tire manufacturing so only time and miles will tell the story on a Hercules ST tire. I've not seen any complaints on them either but is typical of a new tire.
