| dmhuff's Full Review: Goodyear Marathon Radial Trailer Utility Tire |
I can't believe these tires represent Goodyear- I'm a confirmed Goodyear fanatic and have been severely disappointed to the point of paranoia while on the road. I have had two of the original four Marathons (sold to me on the basis that they were so superior to the OE equipment that "they would be the last tires I would need on that trailer"- famous last words!) fail at speed on the freeway with no warning, no apparent deterioration, and for no apparent reason. I maintain my vehicle meticulously, run them at ONLY at rated pressure and well below rated load capacity and at moderate speeds. They have failed with under 7,000 miles and two years of wear, cost exorbitant amounts to replace, and still do damage to the trailer when they go. Maybe I should scratch at the label to see if someone pasted wings over Firestone!
