Hi Mark,

I also have an 08, 2619! I am lucky to have retired from the tire business and still have friends in the wholesale end! I was able to get 4, 15" used wheels and then after some research, mostly through this forum, decided on 225/75r15 Maxxis LR D trailer tires. Our first trip was to Alaska & back! The first pair still looked great after 12,000 miles. The second pair are on now and are nearing 10,000 miles. Before we leave for Maine in late June I will switch them again! Needless to say, We are very happy with the service we are receiving from them! I was also lucky to sell the 14" Marathons on wheels to a neighbor for his lawn equipment trailer!
BTW, My 08 TM came with 06 Marathons and I bought it in 2010! I worked for The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. for 35 years, of which, I spent 25 years in the retail Stores and saw many a problem with trailer tires, particularly Marathons!
