Carlisle tires

With side wall blowouts, I think what a lot of folks forget is how heavy some of our trailers are and how the side wall can be damaged from being pinched against a curb. Once there is damage to the side wall, air can leak into the plus of nylon, then the rest is history. Yes, I have scrubbed or pinched my truck tire with no ill effects, but trailer tires have been another story. I currently have one that has a deformity on the side wall. It happened this past week traveling through a rather narrow hairpin turn. I realized too late and made contact with the curb. This error on my part has accelerated my purchase of new tires to today. When we pull up camp, we are heading to the tire shop to have new rubber put on...going with a heavier tire...hopefully I will pay attention better in the future.
