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.
Apparently you did not read closely or understand my original post. I did not hit a pothole at any time towing the trailer. I also did not realize I had a tire problem until I arrived at the campground. You assumed that I intentionally drove on a damaged tire. That was not the case, and I do have roadside assistance, but that's another story.
speaking from my own experience, I do not believe Maxxis tires are better or worse than others on the market. Can anyone provide solid statistics that Maxxis tires have less failures than other brands.
My personal opinion is that good marketing sells.
