When I questioned GY about adding the Nylon cap to the Marathon, they said is was added years ago! So I see little help for the rest of the 35 pounders with the addition of a Nylon cap. A similar Maxxis weighs 43 pounds. Think maybe it is a better built tire with more material bringing to weight up to a similar size poly carcass LT tire? Chris
You may see little help with the new nylon cap but the tires will run cooler and will stay together better in the event of a road hazard causing a flat. Can't be responsible for whatever they are doing with the Marathon. I just completed an 8,000 miles towing trip across the county-not a single issue on the new Carlisle Radial Trailer RH tires w/the nylon cap.
Westlake has also now added the Nylon cap as well.
