The new designed Carlisle tires do not have a bad record.
The older style of Carlisle's were known to be pretty unreliable, but not the new ones.

I just put 4 new tires on my tow vehicle this past Saturday. While I was at the tire dealer we started talking about TT tires. I told him I wanted to change out my existing TT tires with Carlisle’s. He started to tell me about the Endurance tires and what a good tire they were but like others, since they are so new and have no history yet, I’m somewhat hesitant to get a set.
Well the Carlise have a bad record... So do want the devil you know, or the devil that might turn out alright?
I get it. Many new ST tires have been introduced to great fanfare. TT owners rushed out to buy them... A few years later, many of them are not happy, and rushing for the next new tire in hopes it will really be the answer.
Maybe these new Goodyears will pass the test of time. Maybe not.
I will just point out that all of these new tires are made by the same companies that told us how great their last tires were.
You could get out of the ST tire shell game and go to LTs. It is what I did in 2006. I am never going back to STs.
Depending your TT specifics the swap may be easy, or difficult. But IMO, it is worth it no matter what it takes.
