Another Towmax victim
Decided to take a winter camping trip over the weekend, and had a wonderful time. Except on the way home. About 30 minutes into the trip, left rear time blew a baseball sized hole in the top sidewall...

I just replaced the tires on my 3 week old fiver with a set of Goodyear Marathons, increasing the load range from C to D. No guarantees, but it evens the odds a bit and reduces my anxiety considerably. I see it as part of the purchase price.
The odds are not "even" - unfortunately, *not even* close..:(
Do a search on GY Marathons here -including the archives- (limiting to 5th wheels = 874 matches in 44 pages) or any other RV forums.
BTW - Marathons are mfg in China, and still plenty of negatives even when they were mfg in USA!
(Would have given you my USA mfg set of 5 w/about 3K miles free - but would have felt guilty.....or liable, LOL!)
"Anxiety reduction" - well sort of.
GY will *usually* pay for damage repair/s to your trailer due to tire failure.

Thank you. That was certainly inspiring.
Yes, I had GY marathons on two different travel trailers. Had one set for three years and one for four. No problems on either set. We may end up going that route, as we are considering trading the Cougar off.
Thanks to everyone for your guidance and feedback! You have all been quite helpful as always.
