Maxxis gets lots of attention...some good some bad.
We've had over 30 Maxxis ST8008 complaints from two rv websites ....many in the size you mention.
Maxxis doesn't use a nylon cap in all sizes but don't say which sizes those are.
Looking around at different rv and non rv trailering websites the Goodyear Endurance and Carlisle HD seem get most recommendations. Both are a new tire and have been available for about three years now. So far so good.
Another good new gen higher speed rated ST tire is the Providers. They first came out on commercial trailers then later on rv trailers. They came out in the '10-11 era and so far have a better over all service record than any ST C/D/E tire on the market.
Carlisle still sells ST tires other than their new HD so just be aware and stay away from them.
Same with Goodyears Marathons. Goodyear stopped production but probably thousands still in warehouses and on shelves in farm and ranch stores/etc.
Tire rotation on a trailer with close spaced axles ??
Having owned and operated several trailers in service we actually wear tires out. Never rotated tires on any tandem or triaxle trailer. They all wear the same.
These trailers were in constant use and suspension checked 2-3 times a year so tires treads didn't get a chance to wear uneven.
