ST Tire "Plies" Question and a PSI Question
(BTW I am aware of the various "issues" concerning Carlisles, Marathons, and ST vs LT, having read many tire threads here over the years. Moving right along then-- :) My 2002 built OEM Goodyear Ma...

In the recent thread about Carlisle RHs ISTR it was posted that they have a nylon cap or whatever, unlike the older Carlisles, but I am unclear on that. If they have nylon now, why isn't that marked like on the Marathons?
Carlisle sells 5 different ST tires according to their website.
Sport Trail LH
Radial Trail RH
Sport Trail
Ultra Sport Radial
USA Trail
are you sure your tires say Carlisle Radial Trail RH ?
OK different topic, but I don't want two threads. For weight carrying, I only need Cs at 50 PSI, but now I have these Ds carrying the same weights. I know my truck tires have "adjustable" PSIs based on the load they carry up to a max rating.
What about the STs? Do I pump the Ds to 65 or go with something less since they will not be "loaded" fully? Thanks.
you have two things going here.
1. The advantage of the D tire comes only at those higher pressures.
2. Carlisle says;
-Maintain air pressure at the maximum PSI recommended on the tire sidewall.
The Warranty is void if the tire or wheel fails due to damage from improper inflation pressures, exceeding the maximum speed limit, or overloading the tire beyond the maximum load capacity stated on the sidewall.
Protect that new tire warranty and run them at 65 psi if the wheels are rated for those higher pressures.
