What didn't you like about your Maxxis 8008's?

Just wondering.
The tires have been just fine. However, they do not have the nylon cap; that's only available on the 15" and 16" M8008 tires. Also, the tires have only 13% reserve capacity, and would like to get that up to about 30%, similar to what one would find on typical automotive applications.
