Apples and Oranges. The Marathons are made in China and notorious for blowouts.
True this.
However before Goodyear moved their Marathons to china they were made in the USA and then Canada.
Yep they were still call st maypops for good reasons.
Goodyear made a attempt to "make them better" which they did with a circle 6 stamped on the sidewall. The circle 6 lasted maybe 6k-8k miles before tread loss or zippers. Before the circle 6 improvement all we could get out of them on our road trailers was 3k-5k miles.
I wouldn't use the term quality tire when referring to a ST C/D/E tire regardless of brand or origin.
Now some of the 16" load G ST tires are all steel ply carcass made for the regional service trailer industry and made in china and are considered a quality tire in that industry. They work on rv trailers also.
Many of our tires we use on rv trailers first came on equipment/other service trailers for the working folks. Word spreads to rv websites.
One of the tops in that industry was the Providers from Taskmaster in the C/D/E loads which were some of the first ST tires to carry a higher speed rating and a automotive type tread design and the nylon cap. Most O/O were running them in the 40k-45k range till wears bars got them.
I would put the Endurance as a second best mainly because of only 1/4" of usable tread depth. Works for most rv folks who never wear a tire out.
The OPs question ??
I didn't see what year model Dodge the OP was using but my '03 was the first year model new designed 3rd gen Dodge truck came with 17" wheels..... larger diameter brakes. My set of OEM size off road tires mounted on 16" OEM wheels on my previous '01 Dodge would not work on the new '03 truck.
