Hate to tell you this but the nylon cap may be new to you but Goodyear started using it years ago in their Marathon tire. It didn't seem to make any difference. There are still more than enough tire failures to go around.

the Marathon Radial features twin steel belts (with selected sizes reinforced with nylon cap plies) that stabilize the tread to increase traction and durability.
What selected sizes???
Maybe there is something more current than this out there… but this shows no cap ply… how about an update please…
Most websites that carry Goodyear say the following-
On the outside, the Marathon Radial features a rounded profile to enhance ride quality, and a symmetric tread design with a solid center rib to provide constant rubber-to-road contact that delivers dependable highway stability, traction and long lasting wear. Internally, the Marathon Radial features twin steel belts (with selected sizes reinforced with nylon cap plies) that stabilize the tread to increase traction and durability. The Marathon Radial features a polyester cord body to help smooth out the trailer's ride.
I would think your friendly neighborhood Goodyear dealer would know which sizes have the nylon cap. Generally speaking with other trailer tire manufacturers it has been sizes above 14"-but you need to ask your tire dealer.
It's as easy to find outdated information on the Internet as well as current information.
