Cheap tires + Speed = Blown tire
Last year around this time I posted how everybody on the highway whether car or truck and trailer were blowing by me and I passed maybe 2 people over several hours on the road with my cruise set at 67...

I don't know that speed has a lot to do with it. I've had two blowouts, both of which were during sustained speeds under 50. I had one tire suffer a tread separation laying inside the canopy of my truck!
All Carlisles BTW.
The higher the speed rating the greater the resistance to heat buildup! We all know heat buildup is the great killer of tires.
Question on your Carlisles, had the been run before at or above the ST speed of 65 mph. I can guarantee I will never tow my 5er at 106 mph, but read all the time people pushing their ST’s at 65 to 70.
Personally I believe that ST tires are far inferior to an LT even if the ST has a higher speed rating.
