I have had only Goodyear Marathons, so can't comment on others. Based on several years of comments on this forum and my personal research/experiences, I would recommend the following to maximize your chances of not having a failure. This doesn't mean you will have a problem if you don't follow these suggestions...your experience will vary.
1) Upgrade to 15" wheels and tires.
2) Don't keep your tires longer than 4 years from the date of manufacture.
3) Maybe the most important, use metal valve stems.
4) Keep your speed below 60 and monitor your pressure each day.
5) Balance your tires.
Anyone think of anything else?
