Had two Carlisles blow within 24 months of taking delivery of the trailer. Just blew out with a "pop" and gone.

My marathons have always held up.

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!

A buddy tells a buddy and thats how things like this start. I lived in MI and never seen that, and like I said how do they enforce it, pull you over to check your tires. I now live in NY who has inspections and there is no expiration date, they just do the standard penny test. But with that said you probably need tires after 6 years depending on rot and usuage.
