Of course, I've never had any problem with Marathons. Canadian, American, or Chinese. But my "sample size" isn't very large. I only kept two of the trailers for one year, even though I put a fair number of miles on them each of those years. And they were several years old when I purchased the used trailers.
The full Chinese Marathons on my current "new" trailer were bult in 3810 which is sometime in September 2010 I believe. They were put on the trailer around April 2011. They are only about 3 years old now. Probably don't need to do any thing right now.
But between September 2013 and April 2014, I will have put about 14,000 miles on them if all goes according to plan.
I guess going across country in February 2014, I'd feel a little more comfortable in new tires.

Made no difference. All failed long before their 2nd birthday.
