| badcop5150's Full Review: Goodyear Marathon Radial Trailer Utility Tire |
I have a 30 foot 5th wheel and I purchased 4 new Goodyear Marathon ST235/75 load range D tires late in 2006. I have put maybe 2,000 miles on them during that time. The trailer was in storage and taken out for short trips and maintinance. The tires were always protected from the sun and parked on concrete.
While driving to Wyoming my rear passenger side tire blew. It desroyed my metal trailer skirt, ripped off my entry door fold out handle, bent my metal entry stairs and marked up the side of the trailer. We changed the tire and continued on our way. A few hundred miles later the other tire on that side exploded. It tore up more of the metal skirt, ripped off the outside electrical outlet and marked the trailer side up some more. Neither tire gave any warning. I had inspected the second tire at my last stop. They are properly inflated and not overloaded. The first tire blew in 90 degree heat the second in 70 degree weather.
I replaced the other two because they can not be trusted!
