225/75/15 maxxis 8008 and the new goodyear endurance weights

[Wills6_4_Hemi]

I have given this some thought due to recent post that I have posted in. For the record I have never had a maxxis failure or personally know anyone that has. They are superior to all other trailer tires at least till maybe now. one thing I noticed about the maxxis is they are heavier that other 10 ply e rated tires which in makes me think they are just more robust. I have searched this morning for the weight of the maxxis and the new goodyear endurance and my smart phone is not cooperating lol. So do any of you know or can find the weight of the 225/75/15 10 ply e rated for each? If so please post. I have decided to be open minded for my next purchase in the next couple weeks and the heaviest tire may sway me. Thanks, Will

In the world of commercial trailers more tire weight is a good thing for best long term durability and reliability.
I doubt a rv trailer with the same tires/axles/wheels is any different.

The Maxxis ST8008 vs the Endurance gets posted a lot.

With over 30 rv website members reporting issues with ST8008s I sure wouldn't say their superior to any other trailer tire in the last 6-8 years. Complaints on haulers websites run about the same.
edit spelling (wouldn't)

More weight is not necessarily a good thing, there are so many other factors like heat buildup to consider. The weight of unsprung mass should be kept to a minimum for ride and handling reasons. Here is information about sprung vs. unsprung weight, that is written about motor vehicles, but the same idea pertains to all: unsprung

ST225/75R15E Endurance 34 lbs, Maxxis m8008 35 lbs

The Endurance tread is 8/32" and the Maxxis is 9/32", which would account for the one pound less.

Just for comparison the TowMax in that size weighs 29 lbs. And has 10/32" tread depth.

The Endurance has been out for over two years now. They have a spotless record! I run them on my heavy salt water boat trailer.

There have been several Maxxis failures reported.

GY does have a great warranty.

I found the maxxis weights for each tire/ size / load range once but am having trouble finding it now. I was hoping someone would come across both.

Goodyear doesn't give the weight of either tire. Looks like you are going to have to use something else as your decision point.
