Those are different rims than mine. Mine has simple 8 bolt, 16x6" chrome modular rims. My trailer is triple axle, though. Tires are exactly the same from what I can see here. Boy were they crappy. I bought my trailer as a 1 year old repo. It already had one blowout prior to my ownership, which they replaced with the same tire. When I had another going bad and almost blowout, the guy at Discount Tire said Goodyear Marathon tires are really poor. The are notorious for having tread separation, which is where the tires separate at the belts in places, delaminating. I had the one with a worn spot approx 4x14" on the outer portion of the tread. It was not due to imbalance. I noticed it at a fuel stop right as it had worn through the tread, all the belts, and was down to the inner rubber. There was air starting to leak through the surface due to its thinness. I was lucky. I replaced all the others when I noticed two more wearing similarly. I now have all Green Ball tires. They guys said that Carlisle are also very good.
If I was you all, I'd replace the entire set ASAP and sell the current ones used, if they are still in decent shape. I'm sure they'd be fine for a normal, lighter duty, run around town flatbed.
I'm going to contact Eclipse about possibly getting a new sticker. It has faded so bad I cannot even make out the black lines anymore.
