TRAILER TIRES !! - Page 3

05-29-2007, 08:15 PM

For anyone blessed with Goodyear Marithon trailer tires I found a factory bulliten that we all should be aware of. It states that if we are going to drive over 65 mph that the tires should be inflated 10 pounds more than the sidewall says. I got this bullitin after blowing two tires each on two back to back trips. I was able to not completely distroy 3 of the 4 tires by catching them very hot at fuel and rest stops. They had what looked like blowouts on the innner sidewall. When we took them off of the rim the inside of the tire was perfect. The number of the bullitin is 2006-06.

Damn, now I'm going to have to go home and check tires. We've got a new 28' Pace Shadow GT with the Daytona package. I confess I don't know what kind of tires or what size. All I know is the wheels are pretty, but I don't want to tear off one of those expensive fenders when a tire let's go.

Goodyear G159 commercial truck tire will do the job flawlessly. Do not purchase the Marathon trailer tire under any circumstances. They will not hold up. I blew out 30 of the marathons on my 40 ft goose. Then converted to the 16 inch wheels and the G159 tire and have no tire problems since. LT 215/85/ 16 is the tire that I use. good luck.
