I to put Carlisle tires last summer the new style been fine so far mind you only 1800 miles.
I, too, needed tires =right now=, and couldn't wait for the Maxxis to be brought in. I ended up with the "redesigned" Carlisles from Discount. Since then, I've talked to employees at several different DT locations and most of them are running these new Carlisles on their own trailers and all have said they've had no problems. We'll see...

This is good to hear. After refusing the first set of 2 year old Maxxus tires, I was told it would take 30-45 days to order a set from the manufacturer. We decided to try Maxxus Load Range "D". Those were even OLDER. So..faced with either a wait or going with the Carlisles, we chose the Carslisle's in a Load Range E. The technician (not the salesman) told me he's been running the RH Trails on several differen trailers and they haven't had any problems with them.
We verified the wheels are rated to 2850 lbs, so we're good there, too.
I'll resurrect this thread when/if we have a blow-out due to tire quality, not human error or road hazard.
