Carlisle Radial Trail RH
Can anyone provide a long term review of these? I've dug around and not really found much 'current' info. I know they got people talking a couple years ago when they came out. I'd like to hear from...

OK fellas, here's my quandary. I just bought a newused 2014 arctic fox 25r in Boise. I live in CA and we're picking it up Monday 6/6. It has the oem gym's on it. I've had bad luck with those 2 trailers previous, never again gym.
I just put new tires on the TV a couple of weeks ago at america's / discount tire here at home and ordered my new maxxis m8008 225-75-15 LRE to have installed on the new trailer the day we take delivery. Well, I'm told they probably won't have the Maxxis when I need them. I think they screwed up the order and they're most apologetic. They offered me the new Carlisle LRE trail HD with the "m" speed rating then when I get home they'll take them off and mount up the Maxxis for me if I want. That seems like a pretty fair remedy.
I've heard and read plenty a spitting mad story about Carlisles legendary failure rate. When I bought my last trailer newused it also had gym's on it so I replaced them with Carlisle radial trail 205-75-14 lrc. That was before I read online rv forums. Bought those carlisles in 9/2009, replaced them with same size and rated maxxis m8008 in 6/2013 as a precautionary measure before a summer trip to Utah and NM. No problems with the Carlisles in the 3 years 9 MO. I had them on. Fast forward to 4/2016 I was in AZ and found one of the Maxxis had crowned from an internal failure of some kind. So,
Carlisles lasted 3:9
Maxxis 2:10
Granted I put double the miles on the Maxxis.
Neither tire showed noteworthy tread wear.
I often found myself inadvertently driving 65mph+ before lightening up the foot, more so with the Maxxis.
I wasn't aware of these new HD Carlisles til the am tire Mgr offered them as an alternative and told me they had them in stock in Boise now. Upon reading this thread and a little more online, maybe the Carlisles are okay.
Their image has certainly taken a bad beating in online forums. Maybe they're trying to reinvent themselves?
What think? Let them swap the Carlisle HD 81mph rated for maxxis 65mph? Hmmm,
