Freestar or Goodyear Marathon?
I am wondering if we upgraded our Freestar tires that came on our trailer with a set of Marathon's, would we be getting much better quality? Google doesn't come back with much info. on Freestar. But...

ST trailer tires are only rated for 65mph, that's why you shouldn't go any faster. Running 70 with any ST tire is asking for trouble. Just speeding up once in awhile IMO is no biggy. But sustained driving at 70 with ST tires is where you will run into problems.
The problem with tire reviews is that unless people post the loaded weight and speed they run then it's hard to tell if the tire is at fault or the failure is from abuse. Were they always diligent in keeping them inflated right? My GY's I had were under their max load rating by 990lbs each. I kept my speeds to 60-65. Always had the psi at 65. Yes there are tires that just blow for no reason, but usually it's some off brand. Remember this is just a small sample of how many tires are on trailers, so like any forum the info can get skewed.
