I keep reading nightmare threads about Chinese tires and 5th wheel trailers. Then I read that Maxxis tires are the solution. Then I read that Maxxis tires are now made in China.
Try and forget the China vs US quality argument for a moment. Has anyone had problems with recently purchased Maxxis tires?
I am considering going to 16" rims and Michelin XPS tires. By the time I change hubs and rims (plus a minor suspension mod) I will be into this about $2000, as opposed to four Maxxis tires at $500. A difference of $1500 seems like a lot of money until one is stuck on the side of the road with a blown tire and blown spare.
