I had Missions, then replaced all of them with Goodyear Marathons after the first tire failure.

There are other good brands to try like Michelin, Goodyear. Are you saying you tried Goodyear stores in Wichita - they should be able to get them pretty quick? You don't say the year and model of your rig but you will most probably be looking for at least E-rated. G-rated (might be more expensive) tires are another possibility but check your wheels that they will support the air pressure required by these. There are other topics in this forum commenting on trailer tire brands but this should be a start.

Also check the date code on your existing tires. So many of us lose our tires due to age or running over debris or jumping off curbs (when turning too tight) and not tire wear. I have learned to avoid curb jumping with better driving experience and making sure I straighten tires out after making tight turns especially when backing in. Both of these will shorten the life of tires.
