Well, I went with the Carlisle LR E. Going to run them at 70-75 lbs.
Heading out on a trip to CO, TX, FL then back to MI in the spring. If I have any problems with them I will be sure to post.
Thanks for everyone's input!
If you have issues with them under warranty don't tell Carlisle you under pressured their tires. Their explicit about using max sidewall pressure to satisfy their warranty.
This from Carlisle website on tire warranty;
Under inflation is the number one cause of trailer tire failure. Low inflation pressure elevates tread temperature, especially as speed increases. A tire can lose up to half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat. Check inflation with a quality tire gauge. Operation of atrailer tire that is 30 percent under-inflated can reduce tire lifespan by approximately 55%. An underinflated tire creates abnormal tire flexing and excessive heat causing the following:
– Tire damage and failure.
– Ride and handling disturbance.
– Reduction of tire life.
– Decreased fuel efficiency by as much as 10 percent. Driving on tires with too much air is also not recommended. Over-inflated tires are more likely to cut, puncture or fail by sudden impact.
-Maintain air pressure at the maximum PSI recommended on the tire sidewall.
The Warranty is void if the tire or wheel fails due to damage from improper inflation pressures, exceeding the maximum speed limit, or overloading the tire beyond the maximum load capacity stated on the sidewall."
