Carlisle..... LOL
Folks that have been around for a while will never trust those.
I saw my buddy replace 4 tires on 1 trip.
Yeah, I'm sure the tires were to blame. That's a good one!
And I guess 3 generations isn't long enough? My family and I have run Carlisle tires as I've been alive. Not one issue on dozens of trailers.
In fact, my ATV trailer just had a valve stem crack open at some point during a 3 hour Interstate drive and the tire looked shockingly normal until the tread and pressure was inspected.
Thus, I continue to use buy Carlisle for all replacements on every trailer I own...which continues to grow in numbers and variety.
Am I a fan-boy for Carlisle? Having experienced well over 4 decades of personal use and abuse, you bet am!
Look at what you said.... ATV trailer.... Not a 13,000lbs+ toyhauler!!!!!!
So, post up some weights that are comparable to toy haulers and we can talk.
I purchased the Carlisle Radial Trail tires last year and I have been very pleased so far. My trailer is a two axle and is about 15,000 loaded. They are a 12 ply tire and F rated. The tires are significantly more weight than the Towmax tires that came stock and the build quality looked good prior to install. The tires also have a higher speed rating than most of the other tires I compared them too.
