Carlisle Sport Trail LH Bias Trailer Tire

[LITEPHIL]

The Marathon tires on my new to me trailer look brand new but are 4 years old. My last couple of trailers,I installed LT tires but the size seems limited these days. Is anyone running Carlisle Sport Trail LH Bias Trailer Tire - ST205/75D14 LRC/6ply tires? I reallydon't trust trailer tires but these being a sort of old school Bias ply and pretty cheap may be worth a try. Good weight and speed rating. May be worth a try.

Move up to Carlisle new HD radial tires. Hell they even look like a automotive tire instead of a wheel barrow tire.
Having made a living years back with bias ply tires on my commercial trailers I will not and do not mess with any bias ply tires.....on my road trailers or cars and trucks.
Now if I had a lawn service business or a utility trailer that makes short trips to Lowes or the dump then a cheap bias ply can make cents/sense.

One blowout and you will forget anything "cheap". It will cost a lot more in damage repair than the difference in tire costs. After years of RV'ing and a few tire problems I found that if you get quality tires AND upgrade the load level (I currently run G rated tires for my 5th wheel) you shouldn't have any tire problems. Better to put your money into quality tires than a sidewall repair and towing.

4yrs they should have a few years left. I buy nothing with the name carlisle on it. just for my lawn mower.

The manager at Discount tire here in Az said the Marathons should be replaced every 2 years. Crazy!
