Scott, Were your Carlisles replaced after the new design tire came out? Why did you have to replace them prematurely?
Two of them exploded (one damaged trailer), three of them suffered slipped belts - one of which did so just laying inside the canopy of my truck without touching the ground.
Tires never overloaded, pressures at 65 psi and speeds never over 65. the ones that exploded did so after extended time at less than 50 mph on smooth roads at moderate temps. There was no legitimate reason for these tires to fail - just terrible workmanship and materials.
Tires were not the new "RH" series but after all the problems there's no way I will be their guinea pig. Nor will I ever reward their past poor performance by buying more.
BTW, Maxxis ST tires are not made in China. They are made in Taiwan (for the unlearned those are NOT the same place)
