Having a better engineered and built tire on our trailers should be the norm right from the factory. I shouldn't have had 2 blowouts on my trip north to maine this year after only 1 year of ownership of my 3800RE and less than 8,000 miles. And I drive 60mph, keep the tire pressure maintained, and take temp readings while on the road. Marathons ran anywhere from 130's to the 140's while doing this driving. The new Sumitomo med duty truck tires run much cooler and are hands down a better tire than the goodyear marathons. Yeah, more expensive...but having ones trailer suffer damage is a lot more expensive. And besides, we are full-timers and our montana is our home; riverside rv resort outside port charlotte, florida in the winter and points north in the summer months. John
