Ed Wright:

Goodyear Marathon radial trailer tires since I do not know when are made in CHINA....! I have learned "due to quality and reliability issues" they are reopening their plant in Brazil to start making them there again.

Three years ago I bought two (was not happy they were made in China) for my Pace 24' trailer and one lasted a little over one year with it being destroyed when it blew! I moved the two older ones made in Brazil to the rear and the China ones to the front and I am keeping my fingers crossed.

On my open 18' trailer I have Maxx brand 10 ply (load range E) 205X75R15 radials that were take offs from a local RV dealer about 4 yrs ago and are doing fine.

I have talked to fellow racers and seen LT truck tires now being used on trailers. Cost more, however they last!
