[VACList] Tires

[Tombhs@xxxxxxx]

Hello out there: Have a question about tires.  I can purchase 4 Goodyear 
Marathons from the local discount tire for 85.00 each.  This includes 
balancing.  These will go on my 69 25 ft Tradewind tandem axle.  The date of 
manufacture indicates that these tires are 17 months old.  I have read in the 
archives that old tires may be a problem.  How old is my question?  Have any 
of you out there had trouble with Goodyear Marathons Load Range C.  Have they 
failed and has the reason been because they were older tires when you bought 
them?  I have also read that Good year Marathons in load range D were having 
problems about 1 or 2 years ago and the factory had done a silent recall 
(whatever that means).  Have there been any problems with the Marathons in 
Load Range C?
