Are you including the Goodyear Marathons? Many reports of failures of the Chinese Marathons. I have read some reports on this forum and others that Goodyear has moved the Marathon manufacturing back to the states but I haven't seen any.
Goodyear is a really big tire company with manufacturing plants around the globe. They from time to time produce Marathons in different plants depending of production slot availability. This can vary by tire size also. So because say a 15" was produced somewhere other than china does not mean other sizes are also. They only make about two runs per year of each size. Also according to Goodyear all tires are equal in quality or lack of it and it is not dependent on were it is manufactured. Chris
