Yesterday on my way home from fishing another Goodyear Marathon blowout. This is no way to end the day. fortunately it was on the passenger side so I was out of harms way while I changed it. Question or rather opinion, what are your recommendations for a replacement. I've had enough of Goodyear Marathon's which I discovered are made in china.  I should add, it didn't just go flat it blew out.

Skeeter ZX190. I think if it was the boat I would have already had problems. The other Goodyear blowout was on a Ranger I had before this one.

That's what I thought. Rangers and Skeeters are bad about this.

Triangle tires from Cowser Tire in Ft Worth. Triangle tires are made in China too and they don't offer trailer tires.

I recently bought a set of Carlisle from Discount Tire. They seem to be doing fine.
A friend swears by Maxxis tires. I could have ordered them through Discount but I needed the tires right then as I was going on a road trip.

how old was the tire that blew out? About 8 months and probably around 2000 miles. As you can see the tread looks good but the reviews I've read say Marathons have a history of splitting. The tire has a C load range which is normal for my weight boat. Keep hearing and reading good reviews about Maxxis but have to order them through discount.
