When you’re logging long highway miles, the Maxxis ST225/75R15 radial tire keeps its cool. It’s built with a Load Range E, 10-ply rating and handles up to 2,830 lbs at 80 psi, giving you strength without excess bulk. The N speed rating (87 mph) means it’s stable and confident on the open road. Radial construction runs cooler than bias tires, cutting down on heat buildup during those long hauls in heavy or hot conditions.
This combo comes pre-mounted and bead balanced right from the factory, so there’s no need for extra shop time or external weights. Internal tire balancing beads automatically adjust as you drive, keeping things smooth mile after mile. That design helps extend tread life and reduces vibration—so when you bolt it on, you can hit the road with a steady, balanced feel from the start.
Hauling gear or equipment puts stress on a tire, but this one’s built to take it. The reinforced sidewall stays stable under repeated load cycles, while the high-load tread compound keeps heat under control even when carrying heavier loads. A dual-cord body casing adds more strength and damage resistance. It all adds up to reliable performance under weight so you can tow with confidence every time.
The included black modular steel wheel delivers both toughness and clean looks. It measures 15" diameter x 6" wide with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, using standard 1/2"-20 conical-seat lug nuts. A zero offset keeps the load centered over your bearings, and each wheel carries a 2,830-lb capacity with a 4.29" pilot diameter for a secure fit over standard hubs.
It’s good to know the backing matches the build. This setup includes Maxxis’ 1-year No Excuses Guarantee plus 2 years of roadside assistance, a 5-year limited warranty on radial ST tires, and a lifetime structural warranty on the wheels. That kind of coverage means you can tow knowing help is there if something unexpected happens.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"
Ratings & Reviews
I’ve been really impressed with the Maxxis M8008 tires. If you’re looking for a high-quality trailer tire but don’t want to pay top-shelf prices, these are worth a look. Maxxis has a solid reputation, and the M8008s often get compared to the Goodyear Endurance, but they usually cost a bit less, which makes them a good value in my book.
The build quality seems excellent. The sidewalls feel sturdy, and the tread design looks just as well-made as some of the more expensive brands. What stands out most to me is how well they handle heat. Maxxis uses a proprietary tread compound that keeps the tires cooler on long hauls that gives me confidence that they will hold up over time.
Another nice touch is that they come pre-balanced from the factory. It’s a small detail, but it really helps smooth out the ride and cuts down on vibration.
Overall, I’d say the M8008 is a dependable, well-built tire that performs like a premium option without the premium price tag. If you tow often and want something reliable and cost-effective, these are hard to beat
Trailer tires ride great and handle the weight well. The balancing beads do there job for a smooth ride.
Efficient purchase and very high quality. Fast shipping and the tires arrived very well packaged. Each tire was already inflated to the exact psi specifications. I am very happy with the quality and will definitely order from etrailer.com in the future!
