I've not seen any "blown out" Maxxiss tires. I'm sure it has happened to someone but they are the best ST tire out there by a WIDE margin.
...and what makes you say that? Not doubting you, just wonder where the proof is or is this just an opinion?
Maxxis ST8008 do seem popular on this web and not so popular on other trailering websites.
However there has been twenty three RV.net member with Maxxis tire complaints...mostly tread separations. Some websites runs even more complaints. Maxxis doesn't use the nylon cap under the tread on all ST tire sizes and load ranges which may have some bearing on reliability on certain sizes.
The OP says he has a 4091 lb trailer. Now that could mean 2045 lbs per tire on a single axle trailer....... or just 1022 lb per tire on a tandem axle trailer.
Either way thats a very lite trailer.
And if he has ran his current tires for 12 years I would get another set just like them.
The Kumho is a 65 psi rated tire and will be serious over kill for a 4091 lb tandem axle trailer. Or a good choice if the trailer is a single axle unit.
The spare ??
I would replace it also.
