So much for Maxxis tires

You seem a little out of touch with the real world . Report after report from other member says that the Maxxis tire is in fact a good product. As the failure you report does not seem to be the Alligator failure and seems more due to a possible pothole or other accident related failure along with no pictures, I will write this off to possible operator error. As others stated the amount that you drove on the failed tire is quite a bit. Also do you really think you made a good choice to continue 2 hours on a failed tire where is the spare or road side assistance. Not a saftey minded choice Just saying.
