Happy with our Marathons. It's all about how you properly treat ST tires.
You should also look at the load capacity rating of the tires vs the actual TT weight fully loaded up. RV manufacturers frequently size the tires so there is little to no reserve capacity. We ordered LRD tires on our new TT instead of LRC which it would have come with standard.
Just for fun I asked the salesman at our dealer, who's been in the biz for a very long time, why anyone would order LRD Marathons. His answer was "I dunno, not many ask for them"... :R
