After my trailer alignment fiasco, and everybody telling me I "just needed to get some good tires on it", I just returned from my first, and longest trip of this season, with my new Maxxis. We went to Bowling Green, KY over Easter, about 1700 miles, and so far (knock wood) it doesn't look like there is any unusual wear on any of the tires yet (one would hope,right?). The OEM Kendas started showing feathering and uneven wear about 3000 miles in, so time will tell. I'm also running the balancing beads inside, whether it helps or not is anybodys guess. It tows and handles great and I hope to get many years of trouble free service out of these tires.

I will be taking mine over 3000 miles to Canada in a couple of months time with my Goodyear Marathons. Will report on performance when I get back. I know it is not regular but it is a start.

When ordering your tires be sure to tell the dealer and/or wholesaler that you want 'fresh' tires. When I got my new set of Maxxis this spring, the dealer told his wholesaler that he wanted 'fresh' inventory. They were less than 6 months old. One thing about Maxxis is that there is such a high demand for them that you are pretty much assured that they will not be very old.

Beware of the DURO brand from China. Nothing but trouble.

There is a question that has to be answered. Has anyone had a Maxxis M8008 tire fail? Or any Maxxis tire? If you have what was the failure mode and cause if known. Tread separation etc.
