Weather was cool and I never went over 60 mph. In fact, I rarely even hit 60.

202 miles into the trip the passenger side front tire came apart!
I noticed the smoke almost immediately and pulled over right then.

Called Summit Racing where I bought it - They shipped me a new one and a return label for the blown one --- Haven't heard anything from them or Maxxis yet.

Thanks
I hadn't heard anything from either of them yet - So I called Summit this morning.
Their customer service rep told me that the tire was replaced under warranty at NO charge to me.
I asked what, if anything, Maxxis determined what had happened but the only info that he had was that it was covered.

Works for me
