carlisle tires
Anyone running the new Carlisle Radial trailer tire ? Discount Tire seems to be pushing them here as new and greatly improved. Anyone know of a 15 in LT tire?

I have never weighed it. LOL I know I know, shameful.
It's a montana 2880rl. 12340 gross on the sticker. It's not a behemoth by any stretch but behemoths dont come with 15" tires either. They are sized ok, I am guessing 500 pounds reserve carrying capacity per tire or there abouts. They never get hot, just warm. I run light on purpose (to save the tires) and I run 65mph with the occasional 70 when passing (one of you guys LOL). And they never lose air pressure, not even a pound. First time I have ever seen that on any tire that I have ever had in the past.
By the way I saw a 5th the other day that had 3 axles and all dually's. Now he had reserve carrying capacity to be sure.man I had instant suspension envy looking at that.
Edit: even though 2 of us have had good results, and I havent come across a failure report for the RH's as of yet (thats promising in itself). I would still say it's a very small data set and not to infer anything other than nothing has happened. Your mileage may vary.
And the point I make is that the Goodyear Marathon added the Nylon overlay years ago and they still fail at a fair rate. So that alone MAY not be the solution. I know that the Maxxis has the overlay, however they are a much heavier tire size for size, so they have something in their construction that is more that just an overlay of some Nylon cords.
Only time will tell and getting a lot of them in use to produce a decent sample. The manufacturers will not talk about failure rates, so we have to depend on forums like this to provide some feedback.
