I've got three "supercargo" and one triangle. Had them for about a year now, been to Fork a couple times, PK, Ray Roberts SEVERAL times, local lakes uncountable times. The triangle looks just like the marathon tread wise... I have a marathon for a spare. No issues yet....knock on wood. (I'm in North Fort Worth for distance referance)

While you're at it patriot be sure and check the camber, caster and toe. Over time these can change running up and down bumpy roads and cause tire wear. Most, if not all, have 3500 lb. axles on single axle trailers and two 2800 lb. axles on tandem trailers. If you're getting 4-5 years on a set of tires you're probably OK but doesn't hurt to check before you mount new tires. Good luck today.

Discount Tire didn't have Maxxis in stock and their cost for mount & balance was high. Tires were $100 apiece plus mount & balance.

Ended up taking my boat to Rockwall Trailer. They had said on the phone that they carried Gladiator and could order in the D-rated in my size if I wanted them. When I got there, they said they couldn't. I also needed them to weld something on the trailer that had been knocked off my someone in the boat ramp parking lot (no note left of course), and they couldn't do it without lifting the boat off the trailer and had no means to do that. So I drove the boat/trailer on some tires with bad bulges over there for nothing. Fortunately, Tommy at Rockwall Marine is going to take care of the welding issue and I ordered some Gladiator D-rated tires in for $52 apiece plus shipping. There is a place in Greenville that will mount them for $8 apiece, so I'll have to take the risk of driving the boat home on crummy tires that could blow out at any time, but I guess I have Rockwall Trailer to thank for that. I only called them because of a good review they got on here, but I'll never go there again.

Thanks for the heads up on Rockwall Trailer, will avoid them. Rockwall Marine is the best in the business, I've done business with them and they're A-1. Might consider taking the tires off the trailer instead of pulling the trailer to Greenville. Usually the referrals you get on here, especially the ones on Good trade-bad trade are right on. Hope the tires work out for you.

Just now scheduled to get 4 Maxxis M8008 215 75 R14.

Discount Tire quoted mount and balance with road hazard for $450 out the door.

Just FYI
