Chris,

Oasis RV wrote me back saying that, if you have an invoice with a part
number it would help a lot.  Do you have it?

Thanks,
Bob

It has been and continues to be awfully quiet here on the list. Either all
are traveling or working on their aluminum. Football season's over.

Subject: [VAL] Goodyear Marathon tires

  I'm still looking for an alternative to Marathon tires. My spare tire blew
up at the Florida State Rally.  There was no damage done except to the tire
cover and the nerves of my neighbors. (they thought there had been a drive by
shooting!). I had ordered a another set of Marathons just before the rally.
When they came in, they had a DOT date of 0803 (Feb'03). I refused those.
  I think there must be a design defect in Marathon tires. I've bought 4 of
them and 2 have blown up. (Goodyear paid for the wheel well damage after the
first tire blew up.) The "s" upgrade is only available in the 15" size but I
think the defect must extend to all sizes. When the dealer removed the spare
from the wheel, there was a bubble on the inside right below the area that
blew. This tire probably had 5000 miles on it, had always been covered, and
didn't show any signs of dry rot. It was an older tire, but I was only using
it as a spare until I found new tires. The ones I have on the ground are 3yrs.
and 5 yrs.
  Has anyone heard of any problems with Towmaster tires?

I had Towmasters on my trailer.... had no problems for 3.5 years then one 
blew.... I will never have tires over 3 years old again. That was the second tire 
that blew and both were over 3.5 years old.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy 
shit...what a ride!"

I've seen tires in junk yards that still have air in them after 20 years 
unprotected, laying out in the sun. Back in the 60s, my friends and I would 
change the tires on our first cars when we saw the threads or a bubble 
appeared. The tires just didn't blow up. I think I'm going to put on a load 
rated D bias ply Towmaster. That's what my trailer was designed for anyway. 
At 3 years, it will be a short term experiment, :-)

Weather has been so nice here in the Branson area that I played 36 holes, 
no time for interenet.
