Anyone "road tested" Towmaster trailer tires...

I noticed today that Costco is now selling Towmaster trailer tires ... Greenball mfg.

Having just bought (4) new Good Year Marathons I am hoping to at least get through this coming summer.

Hi,
I was skeptical and disappointed when my new/used 1995, 28 footer was fitted with Towmasters.

It's now 30,000 miles and 20 months latter. Good tread left, never a flat.
I intend to replace all my tires with Towmasters latter this year!

I'm satisfied!

Thank you for the report, Artlink... someone of the Open Roads-travel trailer-forum wrote in that Thor is putting Towmasters on all their products--I guess this does not include Airstream as of yet??????

Next time I think I will get Towmasters. Do they bounce off curbs?

I have got to be more careful.

I was told by a Goodyear dealer in Ohio that Towmasters are going to replace Marathons. I put 4 used Marathons on my flatbed equipment trailer, and the dealer sold me a Towmaster for a spare. A 1000 mile trip from Ohio to Florida with the spare, 9000 lbs on the tandems, speeds up to 80 mph, no problems. I will put these on my Airstream next time it needs tires.

Our local dealer that sells both the Marathon and the Towmaster told me that they see fewer tire defects in the Towmasters. He also said that Towmaster is made by Goodyear of Canada. The tire shop is an old one where the owner still runs the counter. They've never disappointed me yet so I purchased a set of them for my 54 Cruiser. Haven't had them on the road yet, but visually they look to be well made.

I'm riding on Towmasters that I had put on three years ago. So far, so good. I bought them at Big O. Six tires, all wheel bearings serviced (I provided the seals) and balanced for $630 plus tax.
