New tires
So I saw another tire failure on the highway today, that has been 3 or 4 in the last year , this one was in the middle of the 401 at the express lanes exit to collectors going to the Neilson/ Mornings...

The Carliles have a N speed rating, 87 mph. I figure that if you don't tow over 65 anyway, the beefier construction should handle the lower speeds just fine.

Carlisle is a bit hard to understand! I believe there is a lot of Bass Boat Guy stuff in their speed ratings. ST tires by design get their higher weight rating based on the 65 MPH speed restriction. So how do you increase the speed rating without reducing the weight rating, other than marketing to Bass Boat Guys????
Speed verses wight is one of the most basic tire parameters. Wight goes up speed must down. Speed goes up weight must come down. Carlisle is the only company doing this presently and the only company marketing and sponsoring bass boat events.
