To replace my Carlisle tires I can go with either Goodyear Marathon LT235 85 R16 or Firestone Transforce HT LT235 85 R16. I have read previous posts regarding ST vs LT and have been told that both of these are manufactured in the US. Which would be the best ones to put on my Kiefer 3 horse Evolution?

If you go with the LT tires, you have many choices of American made tires of that size. My personal favourite is BFG. On many trailers, a high mileage tire will not be used to its maximum benefit. Its age usually becomes an issue, before it wears out from mileage. Gard | ||

The Good for a year Marathons are without a doubt made in China. Firestones Im not sure. I just purchased a set of Denman St's which were suppose to have been made in Mexico (according to Denman) They have stamped Made in China right on the side. I was so pissed off. | ||

That Marathon doesn't come in a 85 series.. You can get a 235/80R16 in a "D" that's rated at 3000# or the "E" that's rated at 3420#. Speed rated at 65 mph. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?make=Goodyear&model=Marathon+Radial&tirePageLocQty= http://www.goodyear.com/rv/products/marathon.html The "Transforce" is/will be the cheaper of the two you mentioned. Here's a pretty good list to view, check over the survey's and reviews. This Light Truck tire is "R" speed rated... Good for 106 mph!! http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?width=235%2F&ratio=85&diameter=16&x=55&y=5 http://www.bridgestonetire.com/tireselector/GlamourIndex_BS_EN.aspx?productID=1097

Does anyone have any info on a Kelly Trail Mark tire. I can't find too much on the internet. I've also been quoted on the Firestone Transforce HT. If it was between these two, which should I choose? | ||
