    Marathons are good tires, $124 sounds right. The Maaxis tires are also a good tires from what I have heard. I currently have carlise tires, but its a crap shoot on the quality for them. Ive been lucky so far.

    I have 2 tri axle trailers, 1 38' enclosed car hauler with living quarter that I use good years on with good success, the other is a 30' flatbed that I have switched to LT tires because nothing is holding up. I have had very bad luck with trailer tires that are made in china. I have gotten so PO'ed over all this when ever I buy anything I always try to find made in USA items. china tires are junk, along with most of the items made there.

    Agree, you have to hunt for usa made tires. So don't wait till your in a bind to buy tires.

    I run Goodyear's on my race car trailer with good success. I don't think that there is a better tire out there in the 205 series. $124 does sound like it is in the correct ball park. Good luck on your decision.
