not your normal tire thread
So, I got tired of China bombs and put a set of Maxxis on our 23' TT about 2 years ago. Went from 178/80/13 to 185 to get a little more cushion on weight capacity. Bought online, delivered to tire sh...

Upon return I notice 3 of them have small pieces of tread missing and the belts have slipped. Just lucky we made it home before the show would have started.
No cracking on sidewalls, and we have put over 15,000 miles on this TT without any tire problems, except 1 china bomb?
I will check to make sure axles aren't bent or misaligned. Has any one else seen this ? Was it just "their time" to die ?
Theories welcome. TIA
As one poster says Maxxis ST8008s doesn't have all that great of a service record. Your #37 on rv websites alone not counting non rv trailers that has had issues with them.
Maxxis says not all of the ST sizes have the nylon cap under the tread....but don't say what sizes.
Carlisle HD has a couple of 13" D load range tires. The HD are a new gen higher speed rated tire and so far their a much improved tire over the old Carlisle ST tires.
Not many 13" ST tire sizes and load ranges left out here. I always use a P tire on trailers that small. You get a higher speed rating plus a quality service tire.
