Goodyear Marathons ?
My previous 5th wheel came with Goodyear Marathons. I did have issues with 2 of them after 3 years of use. They were made in China. Not able to find any ST tires made outside of China I went with LT...

*ST* is the problem - no matter where they are mfg (including the USA).
Disagree 1000%.
Never an issue with my US STs. Every China tire owned, ST OR LT was junk.
China is a huge problem - especially with counterfeit tires being manufacturered there without the original US contractor even knowing it. NHTSB finding complaint serial numbers are counterfeit. No controls in that country.
First rig had ST Marathons (made in Canada) no issues. Replaced with ST Marathons (made in China) didn't get 600 miles before one blew. Replaced those with ST Denman (made in Mexico) which were a really good tire in IMHO. No issues.
Current rig much heavier...replaced Tow Max with Goodyear R ST 614's. GY CS said the 614's are an ST tire. This is my second set and so far (knock on wood) no issues!
