ST225/75R15 Load range D
I see a lot of issues with Towmaster as well as most other ST branded tires and am curious as to how many issues there are with this size and load range. From what I have seen, most of the issues are ...

I've had for the most part good service from my 225 D ST tires. My 1st set were U.S made and except for a bent Lippert axle they never game me any issues. 2.5 years and approximately 10,000 miles.
2nd and current set are China made. I had one tire develop a hump on the top of the tread. I caught it in time and swapped it for the spare and continued on. That was last year and I'm still running the rest of the tires. 3 years and approximately 9-10,000 miles. I plan on running them for this summer as we don't have as many trips planned this summer, so I probably won't put much more than another 1000 miles on them.
At that point I think I'll replace them with the new Carlisle HD tire. Not so much because I don't have faith in the 225 ST Marathons but because the new Carlisle just looks like a better tire.
FWIW I'm way under on the combined tire load ratings and also keep my speeds under 65mph.
P.S, both tires were GY Marathons.
