Just Google Goodyear Marathon blowout and you will not believe how many you find. I always checked tire pressure before driving, always set at 65 psi per the book. Trailer is about 2000 under weight. The temp was about 99f driving 65 mph, what the problem?????
The real problem is that the tire was probably made in China. I replaced the tires on an earlier Excella we had with Carlisle "E" rated and never had another problem.
Getting ready to do the same thing on the Excella we currently own, as they are Chinese made also. So far, we've been lucky and haven't had any problem with the current GYM's
