| Description of the problem | I purchased four new goodyear marathon trailer tires (225/75/15 load range d) for my fifth wheel camper june 2012. Two of the four tires blew apart in the first 1500 miles. There is something very wrong with these tires. They should not be blowing apart with almost no use and without any impact damage from road hazards. I have read multiple complaints online with these same tires. This is very dangerous and it needs to be addressed soon. These tire failures have damaged my camper but, i'm just glad it did not cause a crash, injury, or death. |
