My GY Marathon experience
I have always read the various debates & arguments over the Marathon tires and was mostly neutral and not sure what side of the fence to be on. That has changed. I always kept the tires covered, psi...

Just heard back from Goodyear and they are paying the full amount to fix the fender and bracing that the tire ripped up when it blew, and paying for 75% the tire as well.
Bottom line Goodyear stepped up and paid & I am not sure if other tire manufactures would do that with 4 1/2 year old tires.
Thank you Goodyear....
That's a great outcome BUT with so many past Goodyear Marathon failures being reported over the years and the company now having entirely discontinued production of the Marathon it may be that Goodyear isn't addressing your particular claim individually but as a matter of corporate policy. If so, that would suggest the company has recognized the problem(s) with this tire and has made the decision to not fight any claims related to Marathon failures so any potential "bad press" won't affect sales of the new US manufactured Goodyear Endurance which replaces the Marathon. Count yourself lucky as this isn't the usual response when 4 1/2 old tires fail. ;)
