Re: [A/S] Flat tire experience-Marathon Question

[Airstream12557@xxxxxxx]

When I have had tire work done at a dealer, I always tell them not to jack up 
the trailer.  I run one wheel up on blocks and let them remove the free 
wheel.  I also carry an X shaped lug wrench that I purchased at someplace like 
Wal*Mart.  

When I let Walt at Ocala work on the trailer, I let him jack it up.  I know 
that he knows what he is doing.

Be thankful that you didn't experience a blow out!  Hunter, and others, can 
tell you that you "do not want to go there".

Has anyone had a blow out with a Goodyear Marathon with the circle S marking 
on the sidewall?  I've been told that the tires so marked should blow on the 
sidewall and minimize, or eliminate, damage to the trailer.  Just wondering if 
there is any truth to this.  The original Marathons on my 1999 Safari were not 
marked with the circle S, but my replacement Marathons were so marked.
