My local Goodyear dealer told me that Goodyear no longer made Marathon trailer tires. Offered Tow-Master. Is this true or is he blowing smoke up my a**?

What brand does everyone like? What should I stay away from?

Thanks,
I think, by law, tires need to be changed every 6 years, due to dry rotting.
I've had Marathons, and they've been awesome! I just replaced two last year, so, if they've discontinued them since last September maybe, but sounds like hes blowing smoke!

I didn't see any marathons in load range e just d..... Does that just mean they are currently sold out of them or were you speaking of ordering one of the other loads?

I took 5 brand new D tires off my new trailer and put Maxxis E on. So good so far. Doug

2007, New rear CARLISLE "D" tires. 100+- miles one blew. Just blew. Boat, trailer, truck flipped, boat /trailer totaled, the rest is history. I have a tought time going after Carlisle, since I have no tire parts. The tire just dissintegrated.

Same here... I had a brand new Goodyear that had tread separation in only a few months that gave us $1500 worth of trailer damage!! Goodyear was wonderful and stood behind the tire but I decided to go with the Maxxis E rated tires after that.

Thanks,
Goodyear Marathons are great tires. As has been said do NOT get Carlisles.

I have had Goodyear Marathons, Carlisles and Maxxis 225/75/r15 tires on a tripple axle trailer with a 12000lb boat on it. Maxxis (Lead Range E) is by far way better than the other two. When I turn, the Maxxis has less fold and I have not had one problem with them since I purchased them 3 years ago. Had 2 blowouts with Marathons in one year. With Carlisles, I had 2 tires with bulges on the sides within one year.
