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. *TR

WE WERE HAULER OUR 28' WILDCAT TRAVEL TRAILER ON OUR WAY TO RENO. ABOUT 40 MILES SOUTH OF LONE PINE WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE RIGHT FRONT TRAILER TIRE. THE ONE NEXT TO IT WAS SEPARATED ALSO. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW IT TOOK OUT THE FENDER SKIRT AND ALL THE INSULATION AND SKIN DIRECTLY ABOVE THE TIRE. I HAD TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE AND TRAVELED TO LONE PINE AT 45 MPH AND SPENT THE NIGHT THERE AS IT WAS TOO LATE TO GO TO THE TIRE STORE. THE NEXT MORNING WE WENT TO MILLER TOWING AND TIRES IN LONE PINE AND GOT 5 NEW TIRES. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE COUNTER DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE TRAILER YET AND ASKED ME IF WE HAD CARLISLE TIRES AND I TOLD HIM YES. HE SAID THEY SEE THESE TIRES BLOW AND REPLACE THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME I HAD TO ORDER A NEW FENDER SKIRT, AS OF TODAY IT HASN'T COME IN YET. *NM
