Marathon China Bombs
Is there a Marathon China Bomb club, cause I should probably join up#128540;! Here's my story: We bought a 2014 3582RL from CW in Myrtle Beach in May/2016. I told the salesman at the time that the Marathon tires were junk, (should have made him take them off). We towed the rig 150 miles and parked it for 2 months while doing volunteer work. I did my research and decided on the Sailuns, so I ordered them and had them delivered to a Fayetteville, NC tire store for installation on July 1, 2016. Finished our work early, so decided to pull the rig to Charleston, SC, for a few days before heading up to Fayetteville, BIG MISTAKE!!! We got within 30 miles of our campsite when the bomb went off#128545;, including all the typical damage you read about.
After waiting 3 hours to get tire changed and rig duct taped back together, we limped on towards our destination, only to have our TST monitoring alarm go off with a slow leaker. We stop 6 miles from the CG and find another tire disintegrating before our eyes, exposing the steel belts!! As the air keeps slowily leaking, I call a tire store that is .4 miles away and closes in 43 minutes. We get the rig there in time to have another tire put on, ($190), so that we can get the rig to our CG, now only 5.5 miles away.
End of this long story is that I drove to Fayetteville and picked up the (5) new tires and a tire store is coming over today, 6/30/16, to install our new Sailuns.
Now, back to the club, what are the yearly dues#128077;#127996;#128526;
