Tire and steel belt separation goodyeartrailer tire marathon radial size st205/75r14made in new zealand #t302199 bw-1.
Keystone recreation vehicles for the past few years have been using the goodyear marathon st235 80r 16 e tires. These tire are listed as trailer tires, they fail under normal use. I have had 3 tires 2 years old with less than 10,000 miles blow out in the last 2 months due to tire failure. In my research i have found numerous other keystone recreational vehicle owners having the same heavy failure rate that luckily to this date has not caused loss of life. These failures have caused injuries, and hundreds of thousands dollars of damage. These failures have caused loss of control of vehicles.

I emplore you to start investigating the common use of st rated radial trailer tires on today's travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers. I just purchased a new 2006 holiday rambler 30cks travel trailer that rides on 4 goodyear st 225/75/r16 marathon tires. I had all 4 tires suffer sidewall failure after no more than 500 miles. I ran the tires at 65 psi per manufacturers recommendations, and have certified cat scale readings showing i'm within weight for tires and vehicle. I had the tires inspected at a goodyear dealer and had a very frank conversation with the owner. He whole heartedly feels that the tires are not up to the kind of service that they see hauling around these big dual axle travel trailers. I paid $1200 of my own money (no complaining) to upgrade to commercial truck tires (goodyear helped me pick the correct tires). I refused to risk my families life towing a trailer with these tires - there are reports all over the internet about these tires - now made in china to boot!it really hit home when the goodyear dealer owner could not tell me in good faith that i was safe using these tires. By the way i'm a mechanical engineer with 15 years experience designing heavy industrial equipment. Suitable tires exist, but the manufacturers don't spec them to save money. Most people aren't as savvy as i am about these things, i feel sorry and worried about all their lives!please help! i'm more than willing to give more information as requested. Thanks!

Concerns good year marathon radial d rated trailer tires 225/15our fifth wheel came with 4 of them on. There was a recall and we got all new tires. Those proceeded to start wearing from the inside out also. My husband took them to good year and got a reduction in price you know pro rate as good tread still (not much of one!!!) and got all new tires again. This was about 3 years ago. The trailer has been approximately 7,000 miles or less since then. We keep the tires covered in our driveway. Guess what they are bubbling and wearing from the inside out again. One blew out on freeway and almost caused us an accident. Now a rvdealership just pointed out to us another tire has 2 bubbles in it. Again they have perfectly good tread left on them. We are going to replace them tomorrow. We are not going to buy good year brand tires!!! good year should be shot for selling them as trailer tires. The rv people who put them on there must be in cahoots with good year and get a huge discount and they should also be shot. I would not recommend their trailer tires to anyone. I think if i find a consumers place to complain like the attorney general or whoever i shall send them a copy of this letter to.sincerely [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

We had our first trip today from home into las cruces, nm. Prior to leaving home, we checked all the tires, and the pressures were all 65 psi. Tires have about 28000 miles, and trailer is 19 months old.we took our trailer into north dallas rv on sep 28 for the recall. We had them accomplish that and several other items.today, we had the scare of our life. About 250 miles from home, we felt a vibration. I noticed rubber coming from the street side. Turns out the entire front street tire came apart. The outer tread came completely off, separating from the side walls. It caused only minimal damage to the molding. Tire was original equipment.we replaced the tire and continued. We filled up the truck in van horn, tx, and stopped at a rest stop about 50 miles east of el paso. All seemed ok there.we drove into las cruces, nm. Mary said there was a funny clicking sound on the right side. When we pulled into our spot, mary saw that the entire rear curb side tire disintegrated somewhere in the last 90 miles. We felt no vibrations or any other indication that the tire went bad. There's little but wheel and sidewall left.we have pictures of the entire incident.
Leaving wyoming traveling east. Found left front tire flat. Checked all air two days earlier. Tires were in excellent shape when checked. Looking at flat all tread looked new except where tread and sidewall met. Tread had worn off causing a flat. This tire looked like new two days earlier. Two weeks before i left on this trip i had to replace the tire on right front because of bulge at the same location on the tire.

Goodyear marathon tires - tread delaminates from tire even when used at rated speed and load. I have had my travel trailer for 2 years and the same failure has occurred on 4 tires. Approx. 3000 miles. On occurrences 2 & 3 the trailer was empty, minimum load. You have 31 complaints for the same problem and 27 under tire general defects. This problem is also wide spread on the internet particularly on rv enthusiast websites. I work for a major car company as avp of parts and service with over 30 years experience. This is a real problem with life threatening potential. I still have the remains of the most recent tire failure available for inspection. I was foolish not to keep the others, however the replacement history can be documented at my local tire dealer. I'm not interested in restitution, i have already ordered a different brand of tire to replace these before i have another failure. When the tread delaminates it is slung off the tire carcas and often cause significant damage to the trailer. Between the number of complaints you have received and the widespread buzz on the internet you should have more than enough information to open a formal defect investigation.

On june 26, 2012 a goodyear marathon tire, st235/85r16, blew out on my 2011 eagle5th wheel trailer. Fortunately the trailer was sitting still when it blew because i was at the registration desk of a campground in williams, az. I had just driven approximately 300 miles from another campground in new mexico. On june 28, 2012 i took the tire to great west commercial tire in kingman, arizona. When i backed the trailer in the technician informed me that another tire on the other axle, opposite side was separating. I ended up purchasing two tires for a total of $382.98 plus $41.98 for labor and valve stems. I was informed that the adjuster for goodyear comes around quarterly and had just been there. I said ok as long as you hold on to the tires until i am satisfied with the claim. When i left their business i went straight to the cat scale at the flying j pilot truck stop across from their location. I sent great western a copy of the weigh ticket when i got home. The trailer axles weighed 10,040 pounds, well under the capacity for the tires, which were properly inflated to 80 psi and were checked several times during the trip. According to great western the tires had 6/32" tread left out of 10/32" when they talked to the person i complained to at goodyear. The claim form says 8/32" and 7/32". I measured the two tires that were not affected and both had 8/32" tread left. The tires were original equipment on the trailer and by my estimation had only about 5,000 miles on them.i was recently informed by the person i spoke to at goodyearthat the tires were disposed of despite the fact they knew i was not satisfied with their $69.92 settlement.pictures and correspondence are available.

In 2002 i purchased a new boat from sea ray boats with a shorelander trailer.it is equipped with goodyear marathon tires in size 215/75r14.they are c load rating tires with 1870 lb rating.the boat and trailer are 5500 lb maximum with all equipment and full load of fuel.last fall in october while driving to the lake at highway speed the left front tire exploded.i pulled over and put on the spare.goodyear replaced the tire.two weeks after that while prepping the boat and trailer for another trip, i always check tires, wheels and bearing condition before towing, i noticed two of the tires had bulges in the tread.i took them to the store and goodyear replaced them.of course every time a tire got replaced i had to pay a pro-rate, mount and balance charges, and taxes.i requested goodyear replace the fourth tire since it was the only remaining tire in use that didn't fail.they replaced it as a peace of mind gesture.now just this past weekend 7/2/06, i checked over the trailer as usual and all was ok.then as i was pulling out of the driveway i saw something funny in the mirror.when i got out to inspect it i found one of the tires they just replace had a giant bulge in the side wall.the little nubs haven't even worn of the tire yet it's so new.boy was i mad!!!!!!goodyear is replacing it for no charge this time.when i asked about getting different tires they said there was nothing they could do.this tire should be recalled for safety reasons.they are unsafe.

We had our first trip today from home into las cruces, nm. Prior to leaving home, we checked all the tires, and the pressures were all 65 psi. Tires have about 28000 miles, and trailer is 19 months old.we took our trailer into north dallas rv on sep 28 for the recall. We had them accomplish that and several other items.today, we had the scare of our life. About 250 miles from home, we felt a vibration. I noticed rubber coming from the street side. Turns out the entire front street tire came apart. The outer tread came completely off, separating from the side walls. It caused only minimal damage to the molding. Tire was original equipment.we replaced the tire and continued. We filled up the truck in van horn, tx, and stopped at a rest stop about 50 miles east of el paso. All seemed ok there.we drove into las cruces, nm. Mary said there was a funny clicking sound on the right side. When we pulled into our spot, mary saw that the entire rear curb side tire disintegrated somewhere in the last 90 miles. We felt no vibrations or any other indication that the tire went bad. There's little but wheel and sidewall left.we have pictures of the entire incident.

I have goodyear marathon st 225/75/15 d tires on brand new (may 2007) 2007 carmate 24 foot trailer. I drove the trailer to salt lake city (slc), back to frederick, md, than back to slc. So, with about 8,000 miles (july 14 now) on the tires - i notice "air bubbles" in the sidewall just above the rim. I call local goodyear dealers, and none have the tires in stock (i do hear though that this is a common problem with these tires, several non goodyear dealers tell me that they have immediately taken these tires off due to issues with these tires). I decide to put the spare tire on (also a marathon) and continue my journey to sierra vista, az.near price, az i notice another "air bubble" in a different tire. Not wishing to take a chance on a blow-out (no good spare tire left) i buy new tires (big o this time), because there are no marathon tires in stock in price, az.arriving in sierra vista, az i talk to the local goodyear dealership about these tires. He acknowledges that this seems to be a problem with these tires, but can not help me because he is not a "authorized" goodyear dealership any longer. Due to new job and house hunting i let the replacement issue drop for awhile. September 20, 2007. I have perfomed searches on the internet, and while not seeing the issue with "air bubbles" i see plenty of issues concerning "blowouts" with these tires (were there air bubbles first?). I call goodyear hq and am given a case number and a tucson dealership to take the tires too. Overall i am writing this letter/complaint to say that:1) there seems to be a known problem (at least among the public and dealerships (goodyear & other manufactures)) with these tires.2) (dependent upon the outcome tomorrow) goodyear seems to be willing to work with me on the defective tire issue.
Goodyear marathon st265/80 r16.manufactured in 2003.installed on 5th wheel trailer in 2004.had 1st blowout summer 2006 on interstate.this year i had 3 sidewall failures on the other tires.2 of the 3 had large bulges (3-4 inches in diameter) in the sidewall when the tire was hot.when the tire cooled the bulge increased by a factor of 4.the other failure had splits in the center of the sidewall.all of the goodyear dealers tried to make me believe that these failures were my fault.i kept the last failed tire.coincidently i ran into a gentleman at the goodyear dealer in albuquerque nm who identified himself as a retired goodyear engineer from akron, oh.he told me that this failure was typical of a compounding problem.
I have had six blow outs or tire failures on goodyear "marathon" trailer tires in 15,000 miles!!! the tires were original equipment on a 2002 22' haulmark enclosed aerostar trailer. The tire size is: st 225/ 75 r- 15. The catastrophic failures have been mostly with the side walls blowing out and one with the tread belt coming off. I am meticulous with keeping the proper inflation and have varied it between 65-55 lbs. The trailer is not overloaded (3,500 lbs.) with tandem heavy-duty axles. The failures have been on all four tire positions, there was no unusual tire wear patterns. The trailer manufactor denies any problems there aware off. The last failure occured on dec. 17th 2004 just after starting a trip 10 miles from my home on interstate 75. The failure previous to that occured on week earlier with a tire having about 1,000 miles on it. The failure prior to that was nov. 24, 2004 on a brand new tire with 100 miles on it!!! i have not hit any road hazards or obsticles.the other tires all had no visible signs of punctures, most with under 5,000 miles. This is not by coincidence that all these blowouts are occuring!!! allied tire in ocala,fl. (shelby) was the first person to admit he has seen a problem with these tires with customers and now uses carlieles. These blowouts have cost me much inconveinence and trip interuptions not to mention the safty hazard and expense.everytime one blows it cost me over a hundred dollars. Something needs to be done (recall) before people are injured or killed.i now carry two spares and am not buying anymore goodyear trailer tires. Please relay this message to goodyear. Thank you.

In june 2003 i bought a 2003 travel supreme express 5th wheel trailer. This rv trailer had 6 new goodyear marathon p235/80r16 load range"d" tires. With less than 1000 miles on them i had the first of 3 tire failures. The first indication of a problem was a 4 inch bubble on the outside side wall. A short time after the discovey of the bubble the tire blew out. The tire was removed and replaced with another tire of the same brand and specifications. No thought of defective tires yet! less than 1500 miles later i experienced another tire failure. The tire was removed and replaced with indentical tire again. Now i have beginnings of doubts about safety and quality of tires. I finished my summer travels in october 2003 with approximately, to the best of my ability to calculate. Less than 8000 miles on the original 4 remaining tires. This year, may 2004, i removed my rv from storage for another trip. Less than 50 miles from home i have another, 3rd, tire failure. Another bubble on the outside side wall. I return home and take the rv to the local goodyear tire dealer to replace the tire. I have asked goodyear for safety to replace the remaining 3 original tires at no expense to me but as yet they are only willing to prorate the tires based on the remaining tread depth on the tires. I believe the tires are defective and are a continuing safety hazard. I will happily provide any other information requested.

I was traveling from flagstaff heading to sun lakes az when my trailer had a tire blow out.i have a 2010 keystone montana 5th wheel purchased may 2009. I checked the air pressure in all 4 of the trailer tires the day before. They were all above 75 psi and less than 80 psi (checked them cold). The failure occurred approx 1000ft from exit 293 cornville rd. I was traveling at 55 mph or less due to "road work ahead" signs.there was no debris on the road.
On june 26, 2012 a goodyear marathon tire, st235/85r16, blew out on my 2011 eagle5th wheel trailer. Fortunately the trailer was sitting still when it blew because i was at the registration desk of a campground in williams, az. I had just driven approximately 300 miles from another campground in new mexico. On june 28, 2012 i took the tire to great west commercial tire in kingman, arizona. When i backed the trailer in the technician informed me that another tire on the other axle, opposite side was separating. I ended up purchasing two tires for a total of $382.98 plus $41.98 for labor and valve stems. I was informed that the adjuster for goodyear comes around quarterly and had just been there. I said ok as long as you hold on to the tires until i am satisfied with the claim. When i left their business i went straight to the cat scale at the flying j pilot truck stop across from their location. I sent great western a copy of the weigh ticket when i got home. The trailer axles weighed 10,040 pounds, well under the capacity for the tires, which were properly inflated to 80 psi and were checked several times during the trip. According to great western the tires had 6/32" tread left out of 10/32" when they talked to the person i complained to at goodyear. The claim form says 8/32" and 7/32". I measured the two tires that were not affected and both had 8/32" tread left. The tires were original equipment on the trailer and by my estimation had only about 5,000 miles on them.i was recently informed by the person i spoke to at goodyearthat the tires were disposed of despite the fact they knew i was not satisfied with their $69.92 settlement.pictures and correspondence are available.

Goodyear marathon tires - tread delaminates from tire even when used at rated speed and load. I have had my travel trailer for 2 years and the same failure has occurred on 4 tires. Approx. 3000 miles. On occurrences 2 & 3 the trailer was empty, minimum load. You have 31 complaints for the same problem and 27 under tire general defects. This problem is also wide spread on the internet particularly on rv enthusiast websites. I work for a major car company as avp of parts and service with over 30 years experience. This is a real problem with life threatening potential. I still have the remains of the most recent tire failure available for inspection. I was foolish not to keep the others, however the replacement history can be documented at my local tire dealer. I'm not interested in restitution, i have already ordered a different brand of tire to replace these before i have another failure. When the tread delaminates it is slung off the tire carcas and often cause significant damage to the trailer. Between the number of complaints you have received and the widespread buzz on the internet you should have more than enough information to open a formal defect investigation.
