Tire Question- truck tires or ST
So last wednesday pulling my trailer, on one of my tires the tread completley came off the tire almost like it was a retread but they were carlyle tires from the factory, probably less that 5000 miles...

When you get new tires, give the suspension a good looking over. When I had a blowout on the TT, I found that that the cheap OEM shackle bushings had worn through. On the curb side (where I had the blowout) the equalizer that goes between the springs was frozen with rust and couldn't pivot. So instead of equalizing the load between the tires, the front tire was overloaded and is likely what caused it to blow.
Now is a good time to replace the shackle bushings (Nev-R-Fail work well) and upgrade the equalizers to something like the EZ Flex.
Here is one thread on the topic.
Also be sure to have those new tires balanced!!
