Replacing tires on 30' Cardinal tomorrow. Had decided on Cooper LT's. Having 2nd thoughts and really in a dilemma. Have heard so many horror stories about Carlisle, but also hear they have cleaned up ...

In June of 2012 I replaced the stock tires on my at the time 2011 5th due to tread separation and cracking. I replaced with the Carlisle RH. When I traded trailers last year I kept the Carlisles. They now have abt 10k miles on them with zero problems.
One reason I attribute this to is my tires are way underloaded. The first trailer grossed abt 11k this one grosses abt 12k. They both had 5200 lb axles with 16" Load Range E tires. Not the 15" normally found on that size trailers, thank you Crossroads. I have over 7,000 lbs of tire capacity per axle on 2 5200 lb axles that are carrying 9600 lbs. Lots of overhead. I also seldom exceed 65 MPH. I'll be there when I get there attitude.
I would love to hear from someone who has had problems with the new Carlisle RH tires. Not the "I heard about" but actual owners.
