Carlisle's New Trailer Tire

[PA5er]

Found this from the Keystone Forum. The conversation had to do with toyhaulers and their load capacities vs tires. This is the link to Carlisle and their new technology. http://www.carlisletransportationpro...adial-trail-rh
Might consider in the "F" load range.

Seem to be quite a difference of opinion on Carlisle tires. Here's one from the Keystone RV site: i just had a blowout on one my tires which is less than two years old. When i googled Carlisle Tires looking for a replacement I found tons of horrible reviews that these tires should be recalled and removed from all trailers. Several reviews mentioned blowouts on multiple tires within the first year of use. For myself, I'll be waiting to see how these new tires work for others before I'd want to try them.

I will NOT wait to see how they perform. After our horrendous experience with Carlisle I would never, ever, trust their tires again on anything I own. Period.

I had Carlisles on an old Keystone Sprinter trailer and they aged out and two blew up and one was ready to go. The DOT dates were beyond 5 years so that's when I learned about aging and tires even though the treads looked great no matter how well you try to take care of them. But this was years ago and I heard Carlisle was trying to improve their trailer product line - this might be the result. It's not how long you've had the tires, it's how old the tires are and how they are treated while you own them (covered from sun exposure? properly inflated at all times? stay below 65mph? avoid curb cutting, parking them straight and not leaving them on a turn, less than 5-6 years? - these are just some ways to extend their life.)

I like that the Fload rated Carlisles will work on 7,000 lb axles. Unfortunately, I'm saving my money for some Maxxis replacements for my Marathons.

I'm sure not interested in being one of their guinea pigs as they "try to improve their product line". I think I'll go for more of a sure thing, if there is one, and have one less concern to stress over.

I had Carlisle F rated tires on my rig from the factory when it was new. Two of them had blow outs causing damage to my rig. Change to G614. I would never put the Carlisle tires on any Montana.

I put Carlisle tires on 7 months ago. I only have 4500 miles on them. I will let you know how they are in a year or two.

Historically not a good choice. Economy tire sold by PEP boys and others

Another thing, why would they be so optimistic as to put a load rating like that on an 'F' rated tire that is so much higher than a 'G'rated tire? Seems like they would be better off, if in fact these tires are an improvement over their past products, to be a little conservative until they are proven.

I wouldn't put Carlisle tires on a little red wagon.

I put Carlisle :"F" on my trailer May 2012. On Nov 2013 I towed from PA to NY 300 miles with a slow leak on one trailer tire. My fault and so I will not go into what happened. However my rear passenger trie was down to 30 lbs. These tires had 27700 miles on them. My point is I trust the new Carlisle "F". One tire held all the extra weight on that side while the other leaked down. Neither showed any ware from that issue but were replaced because of edge ware from my old axles.

I am not disputing others problems however stating my experience.

Interesting, discount tire has them for $185, mounted balanced with tax for $215. Of course only good if they perform!
