Definitely. I'm not such a koolaid drinker that I wouldn't report on Maxxis, should they fail.
I decided on the Maxxis for 2 reasons.
1) All the forums I visited, almost everyone had good things to say about Maxxis. So I'm presuming they are pretty good tires. However, even the best product can come up snake eyes sometimes.
2) Price. I had decided to put Marathons on the trailer since they could be done now. I didn't want to risk waiting on Maxxis or any other tire to be shipped here. For sure and for certain, a week from today, we are supposed to be on the road to Atlanta. When I called the tire guy back yesterday to arrange for the Marathons, I did ask him if he could get Maxxis. Turns out he could, was even able to get them by yesterday afternoon. Took the trailer over this morning and he put them on.
The Maxxis were about $50 less than the Marathons he had quoted a couple of days before.

What will be ironic, and just my luck, within a year, one of the Maxxis will throw a tread, while the Marathons of varying nationalities never did within in the time I had them. :E
I hope not, but if it does would you come back and report it here? ;)
