Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya!!
I did a bit of research a few years ago when I had to replace my marathons. Knowing Marathons had gone down in quality, I chose to go a different route... I found great reviews on Green Ball Tow Master tires, and to be honest, they have been great!!
I am going on 5 years right now with mine, and they are holding up well. With good rotation each year or two , and keeping them out of sunlight, they are doing well.
The good thing is they now offer a higher speed rated tire with a rating of L (75mph) in multiple sizes from 13" and up, they are stepping up to the plate with how fast people are on the road these days.
But...BUT...the best thing I have found so far? The tread warranty is 4+ years, written in plain black and white on their flyer. Take a look: http://www.greenball.com/catalog/Special-Trailer-Radial.pdf
I know when it is time to replace, I'm going back with them...they have been great!!
