I don't know if this is relevant. Perhaps Goodyear have improved their Marathon tires. But... From 1997 till 2004 I had really bad experiences with blowouts of Marathon tires. I thought I was doing something wrong. I was told that I was probably running the wrong tire pressure or I was driving too fast and many other things.
I was finally wised up by a fellow fiver puller in a campground. He told me he had the same bad experiences with Marathon tires. He showed me his tires that he said made his tire problems disappear. I took his advice and threw away all my Marathon tires and purchased Michelin XPS rib tires. I have had no further problems with tires. I know pull my fiver with a peace of mind that I never had with Marathons.
Problem with this is that I don't think Ribs are available in a 15" tire and I'm not in a position to buy new wheels.
