Well I had a pair of marathons on the rear axel of my car trailer , they were 4 years old , properly inflated , and the trailer had a small kubota tractor on it (1700 lbs ) Trailers gross is 7000 lbs . The goodyear marrathon threw the tread off at 35 mph driving on neighborhood roads , no heat build up ( only a 10 minute ride ) . When it happned I just started laughing . The tires came off a friends TT he gave them to me after he went to 16 in LT tires . I figured that since I would always be under weight by a large margin , and I was running local to cut the grass at my rentals I would have no problem . Wrong
