Re: [A/S] tires again.



My Airstream came with Goodyear Marathon load range C.  When they reached an 
age where I thought they should be replaced, I chose a Goodyear Marathon Load 
Range D.  I thought the extra margin of safety was worth the slight increase 
in cost.  Also, the newer Goodyear Marathon tires should be marked with the 
letter S inside a small circle.  This is said to represent the latest 
design/formulation.  If you decide to go with Goodyear Marithons, make sure they are 
marked with the circle S.  No matter what brand you go with, make sure the 
manufactured date is recent.  You don't want tires that have been sitting on 
someone's shelves for a few years.  Most of us will have to replace tires because of 
age and not because of mileage.
