At the risk of becoming boring, I'll mention that we just completed our latest twice-a-year cross-country trip, Maine to Rocky Mountain National Park, then on to Arizona, with the 15-inch Marathons on the TM. Another 3000 miles of perfect performance (yawn!). At every stop, I immediately put the back of my hand on all six tires (2 TM, 4 TV) as a temp test. The Marathons, running at 55-60 psi, were always stone-cold. Metal valve stems, balanced wheels - I love this setup.

As always, we were travelling heavy, since we are moving our entire lives for six months.

Thanks again (and again!), Bobby. I think The Great Tire Experiment is yielding results.
