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.
Faulty argument. The size of trailer is moot. A load range C tire at 90% load on a travel trailer is no differnt than D or an E at 90% on a travel trailer of fifth wheel.
That "big heavy" fifth wheel argument is BS at best. A heavily loaded tire is a heavily loaded tire is....
The same low failure rate is reported across the board. When compared to the totals on the road it is very very small. People on here like to blow it way out of proportion.
