Trailer is a 26' box, weighs about 6k loaded. Tandem axle, 205/75/14C Duros that are original to the trailer and while one side is pretty cracked haven't given me any issues but the camper only goes more than a 90 min drive from the house a few times.I drive around 65mph. Planning on a trip from Indiana to Tennessee and looking at the Carlisle RADIAL trailer tires. Still good on the Constitution tires? Thought of upgrading, the rims don't have a psi I can see but have a weight rating of 1870# stamped on them.

Were I you, and I just bought 5 of them. I would go ahead and get MAXXIS. Most including me believe MAXXIS to be the best. Even my tire guy, that don't care what brand he sells you. Told me that MAXXIS are the best, and to stay away from Carlisle. As for your current cracked tires. I wouldn't leave the yard with them.Trust me when I say. Changing TT tires on the side of the road is no fun at all, and not anything you want to do.

Not a thing wrong with Carlisle tires. I have been using them for years and have never had a problem.

From what I can tell now, there is nothing wrong with the Carlisle RH or HD tire. Certainly years ago before the RH Carlisle came out, your thoughts seemed to be correct.But over the last 5 years or so, since the Carlisle Radial Trail RH have been put on trailers, there haven't been any stories of them being junk.I currently have Maxxis on my trailer. But if I had to replace them tomorrow, I wouldn't concerned one iota of putting on the Radial Trail RH or brand new HD version Carlisle.Terryallan wrote:Were I you, and I just bought 5 of them.

Just got out of my weak bias tires and went with Maxxis.
