Great choice. You will love them.

I now have and have owned trailers that came with P and LT tires as OEM so apparently you know something they don't.
I believe your badly mistaken according to several LT tire mfg and their dealers I and others have 1-800 with or email with over the years to their tire tech folks however can you show us a link or credible source of information for that broad statement Other than the loaded question emails we've all seen on RV.net the last year or so. No use going over that nonsense again.

Please inform us where the company that manufactures tires is wrong.

Best practise

LOL.
Carlisle doesn't speak for other P and LT tire manufactures or the tire industry.

In the mean time once again how about a "credible source" from all P and LT tire manufacturers or their dealers to back up your claim and I quote;
"Tire companies will not allow P tires or LT type tire to be used in a trailer application."

Sorry You need to start working. Look it up yourself. My decision is made. I trust an professional company more that an internet sage.

I speak from first hand experience. Carlisle tires are junk. They don't call them "China Bombs" for nothing. I have Maxxis now with zero problems so far.

Hahaha, people are funny here.
I too speak from first hand experience. Carlisle tires are as good as any others now. I've run Carlisle's for many years now with zero problems. Hmmmmm...

Glad to hear that because as of Feb of 2011 when I had my other Keystone Raptor 3612DS I had 3 axles/six tires and all were brand new Carlisle from Discount Tire. Second trip out on them I had two blowouts. Third trip out I had two more. Discount kept putting new ones on and I kept blowing them out. Finally after having enough I demanded a credit, which had to come through Carlisle, which was a nightmare to deal with by the way. I went with Maxxis and had no problems after that. My new camper came with Carlisle's too and I immediately had them changed to Maxxis. Bottom line is my experience was not good. For everyone on the road I truly hope they have made some changes. Cheers!

It's just a shame that we even need to have these discussions about ST tires. If they were held to the same standards as passenger car and truck tires, we would have to find something else to argue about. :)

Very happy to hear a good report from a heavy tower. I just purchased a new set and will be using them on a lighter (8094lbs)application. I haven't had issues with other ST tires that have the upgraded construction. wish me luck!

Carlisle is a company that heavily "markets" ST trailer tires that they manufacture!!! Chris

So is there anything wrong with marketing their product? Let's get back to the facts. Is there any technical reason Carlisle recommendations are not factually correct. Is there any reason they should be disqualified as an expert on the subject?MM49
