* Because many conditions affect a tire’s life span, it is impossible to predict how long a tire will last. Tires can be affected by conditions including climate, storage practices and usage etc. Maxxis does offer a limited warranty on trailer tires up to five years from date of manufacture, so please check /trailer/trailer-warranty for more details.*

*Maxxis recommends maintaining at least 4/32nds tread depth when the tires are in service. Tires should be checked by professionals at 6/32nds for potential issues. *
Keep in mind the Maxxis ST has only 9/32 of tread depth. This leaves only 5/32" of usable tread....which works for some RVers that don't travel much. Now if your on the road and put thousands of miles a year then a LT with its 14 to 16/32" of tread and a 7+ year replace recommendations works best for other RVers that are on the road a lot or for commercial service trailers.
My trailer came with ST225/75-15 D Marathons on 5200 lb axles. Having hauled commercially I got a belly full of ST tires and their issues.
I sold the 15" wheels and ST tires on CL to a young guy with a lawn service trailer just getting started.
I bought four 16" steel trailer wheels from my equipment trailer mfg and dropped by my Goodyear truck tire dealer and had him mount four 16" LT E BFG Commercial tires on my 11200 lb 5th wheel RV trailer. Ran the first set 55k miles. I'm on the second set with 48k miles/8 years. Zero issues
