Maybe tires of experiments (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tries

'experiments' is the definition.
(try can mean an attempt or experiment)

'maybe tires' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'tires' is an anagram of 'TRIES'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for tries that I've seen before include "Scoring moves in rugby" , "Attempts" .)
