Based on years of using GoodYear marathons on many different trailers ( Boat, ATV, snowmobile and travel trailers) I now only buy Maxxis ST tires. Once Goodyear switched manufacturing of their Marathons ST tires to China, nothing but problems!
I went with Maxxis tires on most of my trailers now and love them. If you look out on the RV.Net boards and other boat forums, all great reports coming in on the Maxxis ST trailer tires. Right now, I don't know of a better ST trailer tire on the market than the Maxxis. The only complaint I've heard about Maxxis is their availability in some areas of the country. If you ask a good tire dealer for Maxxis and they don't carry them, Maxxis will ship to them in a couple of days or you can order them direct from the Maxxis web site.

Ordered some for my trailer early last year directly from Maxxis. I did a bunch of research...Maxxis came out on top. They really seem to have the best reputation out there..plus a decent warranty. I'm convinced I'll be staying with them unless their quality changes.
Would highly recommend them to you.

I'm another longtime Marathon user but will switch to Maxiis if GY doesn't clean up their act. I wonder if Goodyear is paying any attention to what's happening? The people on this site will be the first to note the change in performance and also the first to change to another brand that will deliver the goods.
Thanks for the recomendation. I am converting from Good Years. Rich

This is ironic, just 10 minutes ago I ordered new Maxxis. Did the research and they will be replacing the new GY marathon china bombs.

I looked the the boat trailer tires today, not good.
Time for new tires, besides they are seven years old.
I was thinking of Goodyears but I hear nothing but bad news about them.
What has happened to them, besides being made in China?
Maxxis are made in Taiwan. I don't have any Maxxis dealers by me.
Is there any trailer tires made in America?
I need F78-14st.

Well that didn't get any response.
So, I will re-post.
Looking for new tires for my trailer.
Any good ones and any made in America?
Thanks :)
Kliph, I got the Maxxis tires. From the research I did they seem to have the best rep. Hard to find trailer tires actually made in the USA.

Hi,
I just went with the MAXXIS Load Range E 10-ply tires for the trailer for my PRO-V.
They have a great warranty and my dealer got them in a couple days. It's the only trailer tire they recommend now.
10 ply??? you must be one of the very few people that have 15in trailer tires under your boat? unfortunatly the cast majority of us are limited to C rated 1760lb 14in tires, and that really sucks!
