Maxxis M8008 self-destruct
Hi all, I wanted to post an experience I had with Maxxis M8008 trailer tires. This is my first post here, so I hope this is the right forum for trailer tire issues, and I hope this is not too long...

Before looking at a Michelin tire, I would suggest searching this forum and then a "google" search on what owners are saying about dry rot on other types of Michelin tires.
Yep, one of my RIBs got hairline cracks at 8.5 years. The other 3 were 7.5 years old when I sold them and they did not show similar hairline cracks. So that makes me the only person on the forum to report a problem with Michelin XPS RIBs! The fifth one(nearing 10 or 11 years old) is still hanging under the front on my trailer(zero miles) here in the Eastern Washington Wine Country. I will finally replace it this winter with a Bridgestone Duravis R500 HD like I recently installed on my TV, as we are going to make a month long California/Arizon trip to scout parks for the following winter when my Yacht Club officer duties are finished.
