People bash Carlisle because they have a long history of making lousy ST tires that were problematic. I had 2 Carlisle blowouts in less than 2000 miles. A 3rd tire blew the tread completely off although the airbag still held air. This was about 11 years ago. At the time I couldn't find many with Carlisles that were problem free. Their new ST's do indeed have decent reviews and people seem happy with them. But why bother when the Maxxis have a longer track record and are about the same price?
Because Maxxis isn't widely available? Is that a good enough reason? Yea-they can be ordered-but those who have blow outs due to the other brands that haven't improved, can't wait 3 to 5 days to get the tires.
I do give you credit Sir, at least you know the tires Carlisle MAKES TODAY are different. There are many who do not educate themselves about what's new. So, they talk about hanging a Carlisle tire for a swing on a tree.......TWENTY YEARS AGO.
