Maxxis M8008 self-destruct
Hi all, I wanted to post an experience I had with Maxxis M8008 trailer tires. This is my first post here, so I hope this is the right forum for trailer tire issues, and I hope this is not too long...

The bottom line is :
We are seeing zero posts of failures of LT tires on this forum .
We have seen two dozen plus posts over the last couple of years about Maxxis tires ( made by the Chang-Shin Rubber Company of Taiwan ) of failures .
At replacement time , a switch to the best LT alternatives such as
the Kumho 857 radial size 205R14 or
the Goodyear Cargo G26 size 225/70R15 will eliminate tire failures on trailers .
Both are Load Range D and fit onto the factory steel wheels without modification .
The equilivant LR "D" Kumho 857 in that size is a 65psi tire so the normal existing 50psi rims normally found on 14" ST OEM tires won't meet the requirements of that tire.
