Carlisle Radial Trail RH Trailer Tire???
My trailer (Nash 25-S, 1998) needs new tires. The largest tire stores in my area are the Discount Tire Stores & they HIGHLY recommend the NEW Carlisle trailer tires. I'm looking at the 225-75-15-E's...

I have those junk tires on my BigTex flat bed trailer. I was told the same thing by Discount Tire. The tire is junk and that is all there is to it and the tread peels like an orange. As the tires come apart I am replacing them with a commercial truck tire. Within the last year I have had 6 Carlisle tires come apart on my flat beds . Discount claimed my trailers were out of alinement. So I had that checked on two of my trailers and they were fine. I am stuck with the junk on my BigTex and discount will not warranty the tires anymore. The damage to the BigTex trailer was some wires and mud flaps because it is all steel.
My 5th wheel had the same junk tires on it too. I peeled the tread on it too but was lucky the damage was not bad. Yesterday I bought new tires. I was going to put light truck tires on my 5th wheel but I was advised by a good friend who owns an RV repair shop not to. I went with a trailer tire with a "G" rating.
I was told that all trailer tires only have a 65 MPH rating on them. I looked online at Firestone, Goodyear and Others but found no rating listed. The tire stores I talked with said they have been hearing the same thing but do not know where the info comes from. Stating that the tires have to meet federal DOT requirements and have to be 50 state legal and most other states ( I am in California ) let trailers go 70 to 85 MPH legally..
So now we will see if I made the right choice but I know moving away from Carlisle was a good thing.
