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...

Ah yes, the internet is the place to find all the answers!
"GY is the ONLY tire manufacturer that will pay for damages."
This is simply NOT true. I had a blowout on a new trailer running Carlisle tires. They paid for me to replace all 4 with a different brand and asked about any damage done to my trailer.
Another issue I have are with those who continually bash tires made in China. I had a set of GYMs that were made in America. I had trouble with them and replaced them before one blew. It is the company that manufactures the tire, not simply the location where they are made. When a company moves, they do so to save money. If Goodyear maintained their quality control, quality manufacturing practices and quality materials I doubt would see the kinds of problems we see. If they simply turn over this tire line to a different company with only the minimal of supervision, you will get some poor results.
We need to hold Goodyear responsible. They put their name on these tires so they own the issues. I do think that they, along with other makers, are producing some much better products. We need to keep the pressure up.
