Time for tires so Maxxis or Goodyear Endurance?

I have run Maxxis and now run GY Endurance. THe Maxxis were in the 4th year this past spring and on our first trip the sidewall on one tire started to separate. TPMS warned me and all was good. Put on a GY Endurance at a tire store next day. Put 3 more GY Endurance on the TT when I returned home. I like them better. Much stronger sidewall and much less flex. Seemed to ride better as well.
