I went to my local tire dealer who supplies tires for a mine, power plant and ranchers. He checked with his supplier and they recommended Carlisle Radial Trail load range F 16" to replace my Towmaster load range E 16". I had read on the forums that Calisle had a bad reputation but trusted my dealer who has sold me every tire I own for 20 years. Bad choice! Three years later I am sitting on the side of the road (twice in one trip) with a shredded tire and a ripped up trailer. I should have listened to the anonymous people who had used Carlisle ST tires and knew they were junk. I skipped any more experiments and went to 17.5" rims and tires.

Maybe you should have read the Carlisle tire warranty. Even they don't expect their tires to last much past the 3 year mark.

I said "Bad choice" in my post and it was me that made the bad choice. I did everything right with the tires except replace them before the 3 years was up. I got tired of all the back and forth on tires and spent top dollar to get 17.5" rims and tires so I don't have to worry about them. I have no agenda here and I wish anyone luck with any tire you choose but I have learned so much from this forum that I feel I should take the time to post when I have a valid input that might help another RVer.
