Goodyear Marathon Tire Failure

I've noticed that, too. Most car tires are rated somewhere between load range C and load range D.

don't put car tires on--- trailer tires are
made to set in one spot for prolonged periods- car tires are
not. I guess if you moved it all the time maybe?
anyway-- you will get flat spots and cause ply separation when you go. I've done it before - but I wasn't always nor am I now the sharpest tool in the shed

Had the exact same thing happen with Goodyear Marathon's, bent my trailer fender all to hell.

I have been looking a tires alot lately, not hearing anything good about goodyears- so I go to the local wallymart and look at the one on display- made in USA right on the sidewall. So I get a price for 5, and then ask them to check the sidewall for where they are manufactured- all said 'made in china' And the guy said no warranty for trailer tires! Crazy! I ended up going to my local Mr Tire and getting some (I can't remember the name) but he pro-rated them, and said all his bud's use 'em- no problems..so we'll see...

I have towmax tires on my trailer and couldn't be happier with the performance. I trailer anywhere between 30 miles one way from my driveway to the launch, to this past weekend drove 600-700 miles. The trailer tracks real nice, does not hunt at all, and no abnormal tire wear. Believe these tires are truly made in the USA as the set I replaced with these were made in Mexico and I joked about it with the tire shop owner when we were trying to figure out why a brand new tire that I got from some other shop delaminated. He made the comment that at least somebody got it...leads me to believe that they are truly made in the states.

Wanted to know if anyone has experienced their trailer tires delaminating. I have the factory Goodyear Marathon 205 75 15 trailer tires. Yesterday on the expressway home I had a tire that actually had the tread peel off and hit the fender at 70 mph. It appears that the tread just delaminated and peeled off. I'll post some pics. The fender is bent all to hell.

Luckily I had a spare and everything I needed to make a quick change.I've searched this tire and found that it seems to be a common problem and has been involved in a recall.

I'm, gonna take my trailer in and get all the tires changed out to another brand. Anybody had any issues like this?

Kyle (KGSupra24) and I both had those tires give out on us last year. Boat Mate 2005 & 2006 Trailers.

goodyears... two went out on us in one trip past weekend. Debating replacing all 5! Will look into the date year code thing. Anyone know how to read it?

[KG's Supra24]

Canucker, if your tires are old just save yourself the trouble and replace all of them. Zach is correct, we blew through 3 or 4 tires last summer in the peak of the heat. I replaced all of mine with a brand I have never heard of, about 85 a piece i think.

Same with everyone ... never heard anything good about any goodyears.

Did a quick estimate this past weekend while trailering the boat home. I have now had the tires for a full year and put what I guess is between 3,000-4,000 miles without a single issue. Very happy with my Towmax tires.
