Who knows what this is? (Hint - Maxxis)
I felt it was my duty to report this to the forum. Had a complete tire failure on the way to Cedar Point this weekend. I have seen a lot of threads about ST tires and Maxxis so I thought I should post...

I wouldn't call that a blow out. I don't see where there was any part that actually "Blew out." No side wall or tread rupture.
But that sucker just totally came apart. As in ...failed to hold together. The sidewalls held together. The treads held together. But the seams and plys let go. In my mind that shows a GENERAL overall weakness in the tire. Even though the tire was almost 5 years old, it does not reflect well on the manufacturer.
Glad all is well now. By the way when you buy new tires, I hope you replace your spare too.
That's what I thought as well but Iam not familiar tire failures or what to look for. It doesn't seem to have any holes or ruptures, just came apart(possibly from heat?).
I bought a load range C, Marathon from WallyWorld for a spare to make the trip back home. It will go into service as my new spare and I will be getting 4 new tires for the road.
