Might want to correct that to:
Try finding negatives on actual LT Michelin XPS Ribs users!! For that matter, find an actual Bridgestone Duravis R250 with negative comments.
That folks is what happens out on the highway with real users, not the textbook/computer screen guys.

Very true!
I didn't include others - as figured someone would take issue with the recall of BFG's.
However - don't think Carlisle would offer free replacements, LOL!
Along those same lines..... if I had to make a choice between Marathons and Carlisle -which would really be neither.:(.- - .......
at least Goodyear will replace tires -AND- repair damage done to your trailer by their failed tires..:W
Here's some quotes of review titles by "Carlisle Cousins" for *avvidclif1* from Epinions:
"Avoid these tires like the plague!"
"Watch Out!"
"Carlisle Tires caused major RV damage!"
"How much is your life worth?"
"Scary experience with Carlisle Tires that came on our 2007 Keystone Raptor RV".
"7 road trips and 3 Carlisle Blow Outs".
"Carlisle tires do major damage to fifth wheel"
"Warning - Carlisle Tires are Deadly!"
And on and on (each with more info) - - however there *IS* one positive review from a buyer who used them successfully for a lot of miles on his tow dolly, LOL!

BTW - "avidcliff1" - I'm not a GS member (or your cousin), but I would still stop and help you change to your spare and offer you a Lone Star when I see you on the side of the road "talking" to Carlisle..:B
And - - Not even a told-you-so!.:W

Interesting reading but I noted the last review was over 2 years ago and only 10 of the 57 reviews were after 2010. Also noted most of the reviews were on the smaller tires where the tire size was noted.
Who knows these are a new design built in a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlisle that they acquired in 2007 (in china), after most of the complaints.
Maybe I'll get lucky. I know the "whose name do we put on the sidewall this week" factories don't do a thing for me.
They're selling them somewhere these were made on the 4th and 5th weeks this year so they aren't old stock.
The jury is out. Thanks for the first owner reviews.
