Maxxis are Chinese and they are cheap for a reason. For a relatively high performance car like a +8, I would never fit anything other than a premium brand.
Take a look at some of the comparison tests of Chinese versus premium, particularly in the area of wet grip and wet braking. The difference in stopping distance may be a matter of life or death, literally. Many of the premium brands produce tyres in China but they use global specifications and Euro compounds and are as good as that implies.
