Default Tire replacement

I replaced with Goodyear Marathon after hearing they were the best. Found that they too are made in China. Whatever you buy insure that you keep the air pressure up and maintained close to, or at , the maximum rating.

I had both OEM Goodyear Marathon Load Range C tires fail due to cord separation after only two years. I've replaced them with Maxxis M8008 ST radial Load Range D tires. So far, I'm much happier with that brand. I got them through Discount Tire and they are only slightly more expensive than the Marathons. The salesman I talked to there said he had heard many bad reports about Goodyears too.

I echo the advice about keeping them inflated properly. The max pressure on my tires is 65 psi and that's what I keep in them. I also have a tire pressure and temperature monitoring system installed (I've reviewed it in these forums) so I can keep tabs on them while towing.
