WOW! that's a bummer to have two tires do that! Although things certainly do happen , it's hard to imagine that two tires would do the same thing... so it will be interesting to see what Maxxis does. Personally, I run Maxxis tires and have had no problems... in fact have been riding them for two years( Corchevals..several pair by this time). I also have several customers that are running them as well, and have seen no problems, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.Regardless, hopefully you will get some answers soon.

Keep us posted!
