I hope Maxxis makes a better tire now than the 4 that exploded on my equipment trailer. (Yes all 4 threw the tread off causing major damage to my trailer, & all were less than 6 months old)

Hopefully these sell like hotcakes and more manufacturers will add this size to their line up. Id love to have the R1R in a 245...

Never had them on a trailer but Maxxis is the bees knees for off roading/ rock crawling right now (Creepy Crawlers) The racers are all jumping to them. I know contingency money and sponsorship plays a roll but the a few friends run them out of their own pocket too. I may move there myself.

Saw this as well. Not really sure why nobody has jumped on the badwagon before, I think there was one 245/x-16 made by toyo a while back, but not in production any more. I hope it opens up a few other manufacturers to make some better width tires for the Miata community, and civics would also likely be able to run these tires as well.
