This from a Trailerlife article on Maxxis M8008 ST tires.
While the tires are engineered to run faster than 80 mph, the company limits its speed rating to 65 mph, in accordance with agreements with the Tire and Rim Association. Exhaustive testing assures confidence in safety, but should not be considered a free ticket to pull a trailer faster than 65 mph. Traveling at greater speeds is unsafe and not encouraged.
Maxxis offers ST tires in sizes that are most commonly used on trailers and fifth-wheels. They are backed by a five-year warranty with a replacement provision if a tire fails within the first 12 months of service and the amount of tread wear is no more than 2?32 of an inch (25 percent of service life). There are a number of stipulations, and owners should read the extensive — and very clear — warranty details carefully. The limited warranty and maintenance information is presented on the company’s website.
