*UPDATE* ST tires any better nowadays?
It seems like all the ST tires you can get here on the East coast are cheap no-name brands, Maxxis not available out here last time I checked. I upgraded to LT tires (225/75-16) after my last blowout...

I just upgraded from Goodyear Marathon LR C to Goodyear Endurance LR D. From the reviews and from the talk here I am expecting good performance.
But don't be so negative about the Marathons! Mine lasted 9 years without an issue. I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot how old they were and would have replaced them a few years ago as a precaution. But they served me well.
(But by the looks of one of them, it was probably ready to blow any day. I spotted the protruding belts just in time and got lucky. But for 9 year old tires loaded to 100% of their carrying capacity I'm not complaining.)
