In my experience, it's the BEAD that tears away from the sidewall. Newer versions might be fixed now, but I gave up on them after having it happen multiple times.
I've heard that about the bead tearing off, but I've had no problems with UST High Rollers my only problem with the UST Maxxis tires is they don't make the HR2 or Minion2 in UST.
I had the bead tearing issues with previous Maxxis UST Minions (using with Mavic 823 rims), but just bought a new set after a couple of years and have no issues. The bead area seems thicker, they are also about 100g heavier than they used to be.
