In 2004 the EPA banned several chemicals used in rubber production, sending the manufacturers scrambling to reformulate and come up with methods of making a broad range of rubber products, not just tires. It took a few years to get the reformulation perfected. In those intervening years EVERY tire company had an increase in defective and failed tires. I would be interested in seeing the manufacture date of all the claimed failures on this website. Carlisle also sells more tires than anyone else so it stands to reason they have more failures. I would also be interested seeing the failure rate expressed as per hundred thousand miles driven.
Some here may remember the same issue with automotive paints in 1989-1990. The EPA banned several chemicals in auto paint and the manufacturers put out some bad paints for a few years until they figured out how to make good paint without the banned chemicals. You still see a few of those 1989-1990 cars on the road with big strips of peeled paint on the roof and hoods.
