I did change out my tires GY Marathons that were about 2 years old. I had to get one new tire because a piece of metal punchered the sidewall of one of the tires.
I could have replaced only one Marathon, or I could put new tires all the way around. I decided to replace all the tires since in about a half year, I was planning to go to California and back. Ended up being a 7,900+ mile trip.
This was strictly a "peace of mind" thing. Since I bought the trailer used I didn't know how the tires had been treated before. I didn't know if the prior owner regularly pulled at 70 plus miles per hour. Didn't know if he had pulled with under inflated tires, etc.
So I just put new ones all the way around. I was going to replace with Marathons, but the tire store could get Maxxis for a few dollars less, so I went with Maxxis. I'm just hoping these Maxxis will not fail on me. Probably should have gone with a Chinese off brand. ;)
