Maxxis Crossmarks

I have done 2 rides since I purchased these tyres one up to the Mast and the other up to the Block House and they have already split on the side walls!! With the tube bulging out the side of the tyre. Has this ever happened to anyone else before as I heard they are really good tyres but from this I will never buy them again.

Post a picture.

 

Any idea how/where the tear occured?

 

Depending on how the tear occured you might be able take it back to the shop you got it from and see if the agents will replace it.

I have been using Crossmarks for the last year. I ride 6 times a week - never had a sidewall cut. Pretty much rode them without any problems

Had Crossmarks on my hardtail and dual-sus, necer had anything like that happen to me - maybe a manufacturing fault on that one?

Hmmm, any chance you got some Stans/Slime/other sealant in those tyres?  That sounds like another occurance of the dreaded sealant delamination...

Not if a tube is protruding....

 

I think this is delamination causing the weakspot...take em back and kick up a fuss...two rides is unacceptable!
