Anybody recomment a 225/75R15 trailer tire that doesn't explode like it has a two year timed fuse in it? </div></div>

Here is a chart from Tire Rack that shows the country of origin for the Goodyear Marathon tires.

You should consider load range &quot;D&quot; in a 225 75-15.( US made) There are not allot of good choices out there that are not Chi-Neez.
I have read allot of horror stories about trailer tires, my best guess is half the blowouts are from tire age, and under inflation.
From everything I have read, 4 years is about it for trailer tires, and no you may never wear a set out.
I just got four last year B4 the haul to the reunion. I think I will also buy covers, as my trailer is always outside.
And run the suckers at full pressure.

Good luck
