Maxxis has manufacturing facilities all over the Far East and produces many types of tires. Maxxis ST tires are made in the Thailand facility. I agree that it is possible to make a good ST tire in China but unfortunately all of those makers using Chinese facilities have chosen to not ensure they are made in a manner that is required to be dependable. My OEM Chinese made "Duro" tires self destructed in 18 months. My Maxxis ST 8008 radials have served me without issue for 5+ years. Anecdotal evidence? Yes it is but it is my experience nonetheless.
