This unit was a trade in at a dealer so I didn't have have the experience of talking with the original owner and judging his maintenance experience.
Also, when we first looked at it the spare was in the left rear position and the fancy wheel and tire that used to live there was in the under storage and blown apart. Blown apart was putting it mildly. It didn't throw the tread, it exploded across the tread all the way around the tire but was still attached at the bead. I've never seen that before. I should have looked at that tire better but the dealer had replaced it with the single Endurance when we went back to negotiate. The plastic/cloth was gone above that position but spray undercoat and a piece of coroplast took care of that minor issue.
The spare in the storage area was very under inflated so I am doubting how often the other tires were checked and maybe they learned their lesson when they had to replace them when the unit was only 3 years old.
I'll feel better with new tires. Somebody out here in east booney NC will buy the Marathons for a trailer.
