Well folks, I've got to tell you that reading the several tire issue threads on this forum has me very concerned. I've seen pictures of tire failures from many brands including the Marathons and frankly, I have no idea were the line between a "china bomb" and a dependable tire lays.
So I bought a new Montana 3790RD last season and the wife and I plan on going full time traveling the country next year. This is the tire that came with the Montana;
Trailer King ST Radials
ST235/80 R16 124/120L
Load Range E
Max load single 3520 pounds, dual 3080.
Maximum pressure 80PSI
Are these tires "china bombs"?
Sounds like it to me. I'd consider LT's in either E or G load range. Replaced all the "LT bombs" on our coach last year w/ new LT name band tires (but CRS at the moment and cannot recall which brand, but Cooper sticks out). Did a 1500-2000 miles trip in temps 85-95 at 70 mph, 21k and no problem
