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 am pulling a new Sunny Brook with Ameritrack "power towing" tires on it. The tires a another brand (Unicorn)that is manufactured with the nylon cap. On the sidewall the construction is listed;2 plies polyester, 1 ply steel, 1 nylon cap. I just finished a 6000, mile trip across the country with no problems. My trailer is the gelcoat version. It was fully loaded for a two month trip. I think you are wrong on the nylon cap tires. Maxxis has proved that.

Jim, Carlisle being a poorly made tire is your view. And thus far you have been proven wrong with the new Radial RH from Carlsile.
We sure don't see any large scale proof you claim across the net yet from the masses of folks with a heavy or light trailers.
Your light weight trailer only weighs 5.5k with about 1375 lb per tire requirement so any brand ST tire will work much better than it does with the OP or others with a heavy trailers. So its not surprising the Carlisle RH works for you for about a year and just 8k miles. When you reach 50k-55k miles and 7-8 years with one set and zero issues then you can brag like the rest of us.
Its gonna' take several years and hundreds of thousands of miles of issue free miles from across the trailering world before any credible conclusion can be drawn on the new Carlisle with a cap. I hope it works out for them.
