Marabombs
I contacted Goodyear about exchanging my Marathons for a better (G614?) tires. Customer service said they would contact a local shop for an exchange. I realize the cost would be more than the Marathons.
BUT, my question is..
How many of you have actually had a catastrophic failure with this tire. Forums generate a life of their own on threads.. sometimes leading to misinformation that gets promulgated.. whether it has merit or not... That's one of the reasons that "Snoops" exists.
If, in fact, there are really a lot of these failures.. I'm in to exchange. If however, a tire comes apart because someone has been driving on a flat w/o using a TPMS, I'm not sure it's necessary to make the change.
The tire company, a long time one that does passenger as well as commercial, is unaware of issues with the Marathons. He said he doesn't get anyone coming back with stories like this.
Thanks for any feedback
