Pros: Warranty replacements are readily available, which is good, because you will need them.

| springdale5th's Full Review: Goodyear Marathon Radial Trailer Utility Tire |
I have had 6 Marathon tires FAIL in the last 4 years on two different trailers. All have been ST 225 - 75 R 15 - D load range. This load range should give me a 25% over rating based on the confirmed weight of the FULLY loaded trailer(s). The tires were on the trailers when purchased. The tires were between 2 - 4 years old per the DOT date code and failed while under warranty - so the first 4 were replaced with new marathons. After the first 4 failures - including the one of the new warranty replacement tires, I have replaced the last failure with Towmasters and so far over 2 years and many trips, no failures. Because of the history of tire problems I check the air pressure before every trip and inflate to max pressure listed on the tire while tire is cold.
