Anybody using these tires on larger TT, if so can you explain to me the pro and con of this tire? Thanks

The Marathons do not have a good service recond when we look across the trailer industry (rvs and non rvs). A google shows this so its not just rv owners who have issues with this tire.

Check out http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchSafetyIssues?prodType=T for just the Marathons that owners reported tire complaints to NHTSA safecar.gov.
Safecar.gov shows 123 complaints on the Marathon ST.

I would look for a ST tire with a better overall reliability service record from across the trailer world....not just 2-3 comments on a RV website.

I see PJ and Starlite trailer manufacturers are using Provider ST radial tires from Taskmaster. They've been using them for several years and their commercial trailer customers report non of the usual ST tire issues so far. They should work for a RV trailer also.

So what? You trot out these same numbers for every ST post, just like tires clockwork. It's ****! Posting a certain number of failures is meaningless without the total number in service and you know it. You are not helping anyone with your anti ST agenda.
