Perhaps things have changed for Carlisle, at one time there was nothing but negativity for them.
This is it! Around 2004 I purchased a new hybrid trailer and within the first year I had a blowout on one of the Carlisle tires. It was not overloaded, it was not underinflated nor was it very hot outside. The company paid for a replacement set of tires. It wasn't long after that when the company changed their trailer tire offerings. Yes, things do change.
I now have an Airstream that I purchased used. It had the Goodyear tires on it that had proven problematic. Mine was 3 years old and I could actually see one tire had some delamination going on. After researching, I got a set of Maxxi ST tires. Ran them for 5 years without an issue. When it came to replacing them, Carlisle came out with their new trailer tire and was getting great reviews and they were cheaper than the Maxxis. Put them on and have 4 years without any trouble.
Oh, and Goodyear has upgraded their trailer tires too, so yes, things do change. I would certainly go with the Carlisles and I would upgrade them to Ds. I would not let Wallmart touch my trailer. Daughter had an oil change done and they did not tighten the plug. It blew out on the way home. I took my truck in for an oil change and they could not remove the filter. In both cases they did make things "right" but I would not choose a company that helps you after they screw things up.
