Went fulltime 7/1/1999- First year on Marathons- Replaced 7 or 8 tires the first year- Goodyear finally "helped out" on the last one- Switched to the Firestone Transforce HD on both truck and trailer at that point- Have not had any problems since- We are on the fourth set now- Always replace trailer tires after 3 years- Trailer tires are put in service on driver axle for 3 years, then retired- Repeat with new tires on trailer and move trailer tires to driver axle- Buy new tires for steer axle when needed- Replaced tires become spares- This process guarantees no tire becomes outdated and maximum use is achieved at minimum cost- I also purchase a road hazzard warranty with FREE flat repair and an annual rotation and balance- Of course, it helps to have a relationship with your local Firestone company operated facility- JMHO- Don
