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

That tire is similar to the Goodyear Cargo G26 225/70R15 LRD rated to 2470 lbs at 65 PSI.

Neither of these is a ST tire, which this thread "was" about. Both have good records for service on RV trailers "if" they meet the weight requirement and one is OK with a slightly smaller in diameter tire. Chris

Cargo G26 with 13/32" tread depth


Bravo UE-168 with 14/32" tread depth

pretty much my experience which is why maxxis is what I'm going with. Next set however I will re visit the goodyears and give them a little more time to prove themselves but they do seem promising.

OK, I am sure there are SOME failures. But i have heard ZERO issues on the RV Forums I have looked at. Now when you talk failures you need to be sure it is not a "road hazard" failure.

A guy did post somewhere a "failure" but it looked like a puncture and later he said it was.

And I have had zero failures/problems with maxxis but there have been failures. NO product especially tires of any make have a spotless record. One persons experience is never enough to make an educated guess at. That's why they have things called surveys and reviews. Glad they have worked for you and my decision has also made

There have been several Maxxis failures reported.

GY does have a great warranty.

not exactly true I found several failures on a web search, anything man made can and will fail I just like to lower my chances.

Not made in a 15" model. I have used the R250 and XPS Rib, two of the best tires for 5200 and 6K axles. I actually liked the R250 better than the Ribs. 6.5 years with Ribs and 4 on R250 before selling that trailer. Never a problem. Seldom added air!

You better look again, hardly spotless. The Endurance , being out such as short period of time has had at least one report of failure that I read on the Montana forum.


I know you like pushing those expensive Goodyear tires, but they have been far from spotless, the G614's are great example of that. Great warranty, just about have to be with the damage from blowouts they cause. The G614's especially, and have been well documented on their failures . I think in the long run the Endurance is going to be a so so tire.

Its too bad Sailun does not have their RV tires in a 15". Spotless is the Sailun S637's ,and their Terramax truck tires .

I have personally had a Maxxiss suffer a tread seperation. It was replaced under warranty. No overloading, no overspeed, pressure at max. They were great in the begining but now they are slipping.
I have GY Endurance on the new TT.

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 would say their superior to any other trailer tire in the last 6-8 years. Complaints on haulers websites run about the same.
