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.
Please point to any post where I got nasty and insulted anybody .
Do a search , it is that easy .
CR buys tires and tests them .
CR has more credibility than any individual .
If Maxxis makes passenger car tires that have never ranked above the lowest 25 % why should I believe that Maxxis tires are superior to other brands ?
Your argument that the passenger car tire tests have nothing to do with the balance of the tires made by Maxxis just plain defies logic .
A crappy passenger car tire maker does not automatically produce high grade ST tires .
How you make that conclusion is just plain not logical .
I post facts supported in a logical order .
Other rational thinkers such as huntingdog , gmwphotos , PartyMarty bring logical documented information about tires to this forum .
The Maxxis cheerleaders are the name callers .
You do not find that from huntingdog, gmwphotos , partymarty reciprocating from the internet bullying of the maxxis cheerleaders .
Do a search. It is all available in the prior tire threads .
