You can’t read too much into promotional materials even though sometimes thats all you got…
The bass article is a good example of that… it’s not what they say, it’s what they don’t say…
For example, how many trailers??? And how many tires???
Nothing in the article spells out the use… where new tires installed before each trip??? Nothing says the same tires were used for the full 35,000 miles only that there were no failures…
Besides what does any of this mean after Carlisles sells it transportation assets to a private equity investment firm AIP in 2014…. Already a done deal…
What Carlisle says about tire mileage is… “Depending upon
the trailer duty cycle (storage time vs. actual time in use under load)
the mileage expectation of radial trailer tire can be from 5,000 to
12,000 miles.”…
.
If you know anything about the BASS Contest it is MANY, MANY trailers driven many, many miles. Carlisle says the 5,000 to 12,000 miles because MOST TRAILERS sit for extended periods of time and do not have the duty cycle of the BASS TRAILERS.
