I wonder how this differs with their Marathon tire? Hmmmm? And they built it for years knowing how bad it was...

Lets start with the ST235/80R16. The Marathon weighed 34 pounds and the Endurance in that size weighs 39 pounds and has a service description of 123N (87MPH), where as the Marathon did not have a service description and was a 65MPH tire. We bought a 25 foot Terry 5th wheel in early 1997 and it had Marathon tires, and the originals were still on it when we traded it in for a new 5th wheel in June of 2004.
Carlisle built some of the worst trailer tires for years, and now people recommend them. However since people started recommending them, they have had to upgrade/change them at least twice.
I am one of the few that has had an issue with a Endurance. It was a road hazard. I did not pay the extra for road hazard coverage. Goodyear however as a gesture of good will pay for one half of the cost of a new tire. How many other tire companies do you thing would have done that.
