The short answer is :
Maxxis tires are not better .
The only place that Maxxis tires are held in high regard is with a few very vocal cheerleaders on this forum .
Maxxis has 19 reported failures on this forum.
Maxxis passenger car tires have ranked in the lowest 25 % in tire tests performed by Consumer Reports in the November 2012 issue and the November 2013 issue .
Do a search for Maxxis tires .
This low volume producer now has enough ST tires sold that the recent reports are failures .
The Goodyear and Carlisle brand tires have been in place for decades .
The Maxxis are very recent .
And then there's the guys that are always against them even though they have no experience with them. For some reason this small minority always has to get nasty and insulting while distorting the facts (example: CR has never tested ST tires and has no ranking for them. Pass. tire rankings have nothing to do with ST tires).
The people that like Maxxiss tend to have a lot of experience towing trailers. The people that dont have never had them.
