1981 Checker Marathon Tires

Right here at Mavis. If you're starting to notice a pulse in your brake pedal or squealing when you stop, bring your Marathon into your local Mavis shop - we keep the parts ready so we can usually get your Marathon back on the road the same day. Our technicians typically recommend a brake inspection for the 1981 Marathon every 10,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

It depends on your specific engine, so for the 1981 Marathon we usually suggest following the schedule in your owner's manual, or your car's maintenance light. Since oil change intervals can vary so much, our techs always double-check those factory specs as soon as you pull into a Mavis. This is how we make sure your Marathon gets the right oil every time, to keep your warranty intact and your engine healthy.

To get the most life out of the new tires on your Marathon, we do highly recommend a 4-wheel alignment during your tire installation. This prevents the uneven tread wear that can quickly ruin a fresh set of tires on a 1981 Marathon. Ask about our local wheel alignment services when you visit.

Definitely. Mavis makes it easy to shop our 1981 Marathon tire inventory online, where you can compare top-rated brands and see real-time local availability for the tire sizes that fit your vehicle. Once you find the right set, just pick your nearby store and schedule your professional installation in one simple process.

Because the 1981 Marathon features different wheel options depending on the trim level, there isn't just one standard size. To make sure you get a perfect fit, you should check the tire size placard on your driver-side door jamb or select your trim in the menu above, to see the factory-recommended sizes for your Marathon.

Using a size other than the factory-approved size for your 1981 Checker Marathon can cause rubbing in the wheel well and even interfere with your speedometer or safety sensors. Our technicians verify the tire fitment on every vehicle to make sure that you're getting a safe and dependable ride every time you leave our shops.

Pricing varies by brand, but we offer a Price Match Guarantee to make sure that you get the lowest local price on tires for your 1981 Marathon. You can view "out-the-door" pricing and our latest service coupons directly on our website before you visit.
