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...

There is one BIG difference that I have noticed on tires , ALL of the ST tires have stamped on them "for trailer use only" BUT ... NONE of the LT tires have any statement like " for truck use only " stamped on them . I have 3 light single axle trailers I use for work , I run st tires on them , simply because I run them at maybe 50% of their capacity and they rarely see over 50 mph plus I have 12 extra off my larger trailers . I have 4 larger dual axel trailers , a car trailer , a tank trailer , a equipment trailerand my 30 ft camper . Each weighs over 8000 lbs loaded , and each one has LT tires . These run the roads loaded at highway speeds. I cant take the chance with ST tires that " may " last.
My larger trailers are running at 80% of the tires rated capacity 100% of the time .
If I ran ST tires they would be running at 100% of the tires rated capacity 100% of the time .
EXCELLENT POINT!! ST tires boldly state "for trailer use only" on the sidewall. LT tires have no such warning on them.....If it were so all fired wrong to use LT tires on trailers....You can bet that warning would be on them...Especially since LT tires were what was used before the advent of ST tires, and are continued to be FACTORY issued or optioned on some of the better trailers today
