My 2005 Goodyear Marathons, even though look new, are needing replaced. What is the latest with those? Last I'd heard, they were coming back to US soil. Mine were some great tires with lots of miles, but they weren't made in China.

Anyone have any favorite brands other than Goodyear? Is ANY tire made in the US?

Holy dump!! 7 years on a set of trailer tires and still look new. Wish I had that problem.

I'm in the "same boat" (no pun intended)....my 3 year old Carlisles (I know, they came with the trailer) are gonna get replaced this year as well. I won't go back to Carlisles. But that said, they've been good to me and have better than 15K on them. Decent tread on them, but sidewalls are cracking...only a matter of time.

I'm looking for the same info that prov1900 is. This gets hashed over often on other sites.....hoping for some solid info here.

Maxxis or Kuhmo. I think both an be found at tire rack.

The Marathons are still good tires, so you can always try something new, but you've got a proven tire that still has a great reputation. There have been several threads on this issue, so an easy search of this site will get you tons of information
