Goodyear Marathon load d trailer tires

Back in 2012, I jumped at the opportunity to upgrade my trailer tires from 15" Goodyear Marathons to 16" Michelin LT tires. You see, two years earlier I took my prior trailer with Marathon tires from Wisconsin to Glacier National Park. I had the distinct displeasure of fixing a flat tire in Western Minnesota and another in Eastern Montana on the way out. Fixing involved buying replacement Marathon tires. On the way back, I had to replace the other two Marathon tires before I got out of Montana. Swapping out tires on the side of a narrow highway is not my idea of a good time. I swore I'd never have another trailer with Marathon tires. A little research on my part led me to going to the light truck tire with more rubber on the road and higher weight capacity. FYI, the four Marathon tires that failed were about three to four years old.
