It's bad enough that my local Big O actually warantied 5 tires for me that were 5 years old (past GY warranty) and refused to (thankfully) put Marathons back on the trailer. Just a warning for anyone running light duty Marathons. If you haven't had a tread separation, you're overdue! Sory for the threadhjack.
Can you guess what happens in a court when they find out what tire pressures were when the tire blew and killed someone?? Over inflated caused it!!!!
Buy a better tire first.

2: The law
C: The forensic abilities of accident recreation specialists....

Wow, that's a bogus statement.... Funny as all get out.
