Time to replace the 4 tires on out fiver as they ar 6 years old...We have the Goodyear Marathon G614 tires LT235/85R16 "G" and have had no problems with them...The place I go for tires is mainly a commercial truck tire place and I told them what I tow and I wanted to replace with the same tires that I have now...He stated he doesnt like Goodyear Marathon tires because they tend to separate (accoding to him)...He stated he would recommend GLADIATOR (Chinese made according to him) and he has put them on commercial car haulers all the time with no problems...Any comments on the GLADIATOR tire or another comparable tire in the load range "G" to replace mine with?Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions...

I would stay with the good years. I have them on my 5er and replaced once only because of age. Made in USA

If you are running GY G's now I would highly recommend sticking with them.What is the application? What do your axles weigh? Are you running E's but at the top end of their carrying capacity?Need more info.Looks like your rig is heavier and needs the G?????

The Marathon is Goodyears economy trailer tire. The G614 is a high priced quality trailer the. You confused your tire guy. Chris

We have been running G614's for the past 4 years without a problem. I would suggest staying with them. They are pricey but the peace of mind is priceless.

don't put any tire on your truck or trailer that is made in china.

The place I go for tires is mainly a commercial truck tire place and I told them what I tow and I wanted to replace with the same tires that I have now...

He stated he doesnt like Goodyear Marathon tires because they tend to separate (accoding to him)...

He stated he would recommend GLADIATOR (Chinese made according to him) and he has put them on commercial car haulers all the time with no problems...
