Hi folks,
I just registered to pile on and let you know there are other trailer users having the same problems with Goodyear Marathons.
I'm an avid boater, a MasterCraft owner and I frequent the MasterCraft boating forums.
I've had some real problems with the tires that were mounted on my boat trailer when I bought it in 2007. So far four of the five tires have failed.
Anyway, I was Googling problems with Marathons, and one of the first links I found was this thread. The pictures the OP posted showing his failed tire look almost identical to the ones I posted on the MasterCraft site showing mine.
To make a long story longer, I got three replacement tires today, 100% warranty adjusted. A rare positive ending to a serious problem.
I suspect we MasterCraft afficianados are as enthusiastic about our boats as you are about your trailers, and they're not cheap either, so we're as fired-up about this as anyone.
I've attached a link to the thread I started on the MasterCraft forum on this subject. Thanks for letting me barge in! Happy trails! (We don't own an Airstream, but we do have a travel trailer from *another* brand...and love to camp / boat)
