I don't want to start a tire war, but everyone has their favorites. We have driven our pod over 20,000 miles on Maxxis 8008 and never had a problem related to the tires. We had a blowout once when I ran over some construction debris-I was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway and couldn't move over either way. Even then, the tire stayed together, didn't shred, didn't slap the fender off or lose control. I also put them on my utility trailer. I always get them balanced when installed, and I rotate them annually. I check the air pressure religiously (daily) when traveling. they seldom need additional air unless the pod has been idle for a month or more.
Maxxis 8008 are what I will buy again.
travel safe
