They especially dislike marathons, no surprise.
Shocked they are even talking about Marathons since those tires have been out of production for a few years. But there are a lot on the road still, including on one of my cargo trailers.
Here's a video I did two years ago comparing the Good Year Endurance vs Les Schwab Dynatrail on my other cargo trailer.
I'm also an advocate of balancing your trailer tires as I describe in this video
Most trailer rims are NOT hub centric, rather they are lug centric.
What this means is that the large hole in the center is only roughly centered. And it should not be used to mount it to the balancing machine. The shop needs to use a lug plate adaptor in order to balance the tires. Not doing this can actually make them more out of balance than they were before.
Tire shops hate to do this. You gotta ask, and then watch them to be sure they do it. Twice I have caught them not doing it.
