Finally found a commercial truck tire company in town LP Anderson that is able to change us to the G614 for $365/tire mounted and balanced and if our Marathons look good he will buy them off of us. While calling around I asked many of the commercial truck tire dealers in town what they thought of the Marathons and they said they weren't sure how Goodyear and the RV companies get away with selling these big rigs 'under tired'...meaning the tires they have installed are NOT designed to handle that kind of load. As soon as I told my husband that every commercial truck tire dealer I called in town said that the Marathons are going to have issues with the weight of our trailer he said to switch! YEAH! We have an appointment today to get them changed out! I will feel so much better when they are the G614s.
The prices ranged from $365-$421 installed! WOW! Spendy! I hope this info helps someone else who is thinking of switching BEFORE they have a blow out. One dealer said it is not a matter of 'if' it is a matter of 'when' with the Marathons and that kind of a load.
