just to reiterate an old topic, but ....... held on to one of my goodyear marathon tires for spare. bad move, used after flat in beaumont heading west, blew up just before exit east of houston i wanted to get off to repair flat! enough damage on under carriage i repaired with sheet metal and hoping to pick-up new fender in colorado springs a few weeks down the road! if you have "marabombs" as many dreamers have said, get rid of them ALL, it really could have been a lot worse. i consider myself very fortunate, thanks to all who told us about these lousy tires! mark

We got rid of our Goodyear Marathons shortly after we bought our 5th Wheel.
Put them on Craigslist, a lawn service guy bought them.
Also put the TST monitor system on, so far no problems.
Been running them for about a year and a half now (about 15,000 miles), no problems, heavy steel belt construction, well made tire.
The Sailun tire has been getting a pretty good reputation and seems to be a good alternative to the Goodyear G614.

Anyone have suggestions for a tire replacement brand? We have a 38 foot Bighorn fifth wheel running at 15,400 pounds. Currently have Freestar FS-574 LT235/85R16 running 110 psi, made in Jan 2008.

We bought the Sailun S637 G Rated tires from http://simpletire.com/sailun-s637-tires
Good price, fast shipping at a reasonable cost.
They are LT235/85R16, 3750 Lbs at 110 Lbs.
