I would suspect it is only being "discontinued" at that vendor. Maxxis makes niche tires to begin with. There is not much they don't make a tire for.
I agree with this. A while back I had a blowout on my boat trailer (Carlisle tire), took it to Discount Tire and asked for Maxxis to replace all of the tires on the trailer. Before I pulled off the lot I checked the tires and they had put Carlisles on there. When I complained, I was told that they were better than Maxxis! After an earful from me they orderd the Maxxis and put them on a day or so later.
When I called the following year to order Maxxis for the fiver, they again tried to push Carlisles - that is until they remembered me. Once they realized I wanted what I asked for, it was plain sailing.
I am sure that they have some sort of deal with Carlisle and may well be thinking about not bothering to deal with Maxxis any more by simply saying they are being discontinued - at least I hope so. If that is the case I'll just buy them somewhere alse next time.
I still have Carlisles on my Lawn Tractor, and even they keep going flat - have even put several tubes of goo in them all, but still go flat! :)
