Since Maxxis is not currently making the size/load range tires I want to put on my new trailer, I decided to put the larger Goodyear Marathons on. I got the last five that Eastern Marine had in stock (we actually drove up there this morning). Here is something interesting. Three different plant codes. The oldest tire is from the original Chinese plant, owned by Triangle, that Goodyear had quality problems with. Another tire is from the Goodyear plant in Alabama. The other three are newer than the U.S. Made one, and are made in a different plant owned by Triangle.
It will be interesting to see when I go pick up the trailer in a week and a day what plants the smaller Goodyear Marathons on it were made in.
