Anyone have any experience with Maxxis tires?

I had a set of maxxis on my Stratus RT and after only 2 years they were cracking in the sidewall and by the end of the third year they were bubbling so I hucked them in the trash. They did wear fast In that time though. About 50% tread left. Well atleast they seemed to wear fast to me compared to other car tires I've had. I've heard good and bad things about maxxis, but I'm gonna buy something else. Just my opinion.
