Ceecee,
We put Maxxis 8008's on our ElkRidge. We had problems with one TowMax before our 1 yr, and others 3mo later. Check the mfg date on your tires, they may be older than you think!
We have 18k on the Maxxis and they still look good. For these wheels, you have to stay with an 80psi max tire. For the weight, I think the Maxxis is fine. Others may recommend Goodyear G614s, but I think the Maxxis will serve you well. We are not as heavy as the "Big-uns".
We also invested in a TPMS system so we can monitor tire temp and pressure going down the highway. Adds another layer of peace of mind.
