Road trip and two blow outs on Goodyear Marathons
A year and a half ago I bought new Goodyear Marathons (14 inch "D" rated) for my 27 Foot Crossroads Sunset Trail TT. I took a couple of trips on them putting on around 8K. I recently took a trip to Idaho to visit family and the tires looked fine. I had kept them under cover and aired them up to the desired 50 psi. The trailer had also been stored up on jack stands. On my second day out I have a blow out on the left front of the travel trailer on I 80 near York, NE. I change it and go to my nearest Walmart to get a new tire. I have it changed and the next day north of Ogden, UT I have another blow out on the other side. I end up spending the night in the Walmart parking lot awaiting the opening of the tire shop the next day when I got all the tires replaced. I'm now riding on four new Good Year Marathons because that was the only trailer tire they carry.
During my trip which is now over I have four lousy unsafe tires on my trailer. Before I take another long trip I will remove the Good Year Marathons, "D" rated trailer tires and replace then with either a truck tire or get a better quality "E" rated trailer tire. The tires came apart just like a cheap re-cap tire. Any ideas on what I should switch to?
