The tires on the trailer when I got it are Goodyear Marathon ST 235/80R16. I replaced that tire with the only tore within 100 miles on a Sunday its a Carlisle ST 235/80R16, load range is E instead of the Goodyear's D. I have read abouty crappy tires before and cant remember if these are one of the brands. Can someone Help me.
Both brands have big issues. And have for years.
The Carlisle are #1 and the Marathons are #2 in ST tire complaints on NHTSA website plus pages and pages of same type issues on all types of trailering websites (not just RVs).
Your in luck.
Your OEM 16" ST D tires at 3000 lbs isn't made anymore. Now your open to a LT E tire at 3042 lbs capacity in a LT235/85-16 E or the shorter LT245/75-16 E. Make the change and forget about ST tire issues.
And of course have the trailers suspension checked over by a pro big rig trailer repair shop or your RV dealer if you have confidence in them. Only a check will determine if re alignment is necessary. IMO most of the time its not but just worn out pins and bushings.
