Already have 1 Carlisle tire so???????
Had to repalce a tire last year as we had a blow out on stock tire. Not much choice when on the road for tires. Bought what I could find a Carlisle RADIAL TRAIL RH 225/75-15 Load range E. So at least ...

Carlisles turn hundreds of thousand if not millions of trouble-free miles every year. Carlise is one of the most prolific trailer tire brands out there. Some just want to sensationalize the few failures to cast STs in a bad light.
And there have been more than a FEW failures.
If you have spent any time with a toyhauler, which I doubt you have, you would understand the blow outs that have happened with ST tires over many years.
ST's probably work on 2000lb boat trailers or small utility trailers, but get a 16,000lb 5th wheel...... ST tires and big 5th wheel toy haulers are no joy.
Why do you think horse trailers and higher end 5th wheels come from the factory with LT tires.
In additon they were named a few seasons ago the offcicial tire for the Bass Anglers-these trailers have more miles put on them in a whole season that most weekend towers probably see in five years-
You just made my point for me. What does a Bass boat weigh? Maybe 5000lbs?
Toyhaulers should run the Michelin ribs, or LT tires. However, on lighter trailers Carlisles will run fine, as they now have the Nylon Cap like some of the more recommenced (but necessarily better) ST tires. I ran them form Orlando, FL, where I had them installed-up to Maine and back out to Utah without issue, on a lighter trailer.
