So far there has been 30 members who have had issues with Maxxis ST8008 so IMO Maxxis ST8008 does have a track record....of sorts.
IMO speed rating alone isn't a indicator of any tires long term reliability track record.
Time and mostly mileage is.
It does seem this particular forum has the most impressive Maxxis fan club. Every tire thread that comes along, it's just a matter of hours before the "M-brand fans" weigh in with the idea of it being the best.
One thing I have found to be common on RV forums is we hear folks talking about their use of a given product, and they will say things like, "I took my camper on a long trip, and this product worked well with no failures". They will define their trip in term of a few thousand miles, and call that a good test.
My feelings are, I'd rather see feedback from lots of folks over a period of tens of thousands of miles. But honestly, most RV'ers just don't use their towable that much.
When it comes to safety items like tires, "buy the best quality, toughest product you can find for the job", is my take on it.
