Lyle... I agree... probably just marketing. I am nowhere near
the 5ver GVWR (14,300) CAT has me at 12,600. So, I'll stick with
the same 80 PSI I have run for the past 4 years. It hurt to remove
the Marathons with all that good tread left, but, the sidewalls
looked like it was time. Cost of doing business.
Chris... I honestly did not look into the Bridgestones as the
Ribs seem to get "most favored nation status" on this website.
If the Carlisle's don't hold up I will re-evaluate. Thanks for
the recommendation. It is funny, before I became a forumite I ran
my previous Monaco Medallion 32 ft. travel trailer for 10 years
on something called "Contenental" tires... never had an issue.
Ignorance is bliss ! ;)

Charles, I doubt you'll find =anyone= who has worn out a trailer tire...unless they've had an alignment issue or bent axle. 99.9% "age out". FWIW, I do have the Carlisles on mine and this will be the 4th year on them. They are starting to show some light cracking in the sidewalls, despite being covered when not in use.
