I just replaced my 7 year old marathons with kumhos. I really like the kumhos so far. The marathons were nice but after 7 years, they started to blow out, even with a bunch of tread left. I can't complain getting 7 years out of tires, but got worrired about the new marathons being made to different standards now.

I put a pair of Maxxis on my Ranger trailer about 3 years, so far so good...

Heard good reviews on the kumhos and maxxis. Had a blowout on a marathon and went with maxxis. No more marathons and carlisles for me.
