You may want to go to 16 inch LT. I went from 15" Marathons to Firestone Transforce HT. 5 tires, wheels and metal stems was about $1,100. They are far tougher than the Marathons and dont get real goofy looking when turning and twisting. Huge difference from 15's.
If you go that route have a tire shop verify that there is room between the tires. They are tight but my chocks still fit between them. My Marathons were 14 yr old and I sold them on CL for $150.00 NO, I didn't run them that long, the previous owner did. When I was looking at the rig the owner said why would you replace the tires? We have never had a problem with them and the they still look good. Ahh ok.
