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 I would still have a spare to do the rest of our trip. I know I've read some bad stuff about Carlise tires but this is a newer tire they have out or so I think. My question is Do I just buy 3 more of these used my old tire for emergency spare. Or Go out and buy 4 Maxxis tires and use Carlisle for spare:?

    Just an opinion , most tires fail because of age, speed, OR load.

    I haven't seen any evidence that carlisle has dealt with their problems.

    Ya, my Honda has been a dog since I took it out of the box and it took 18 pulls to get it started. I never store it with gas in it and it still usually takes 30-35 pulls to start.
    My buddy bought a Yamaha - takes like 3 pulls.

    Buy the Maxxiss and I wouldn't (and dont) even use the carlisle for a spare.
