New Trailer Tires - And THANKS

Just for my own curiosity what does your data show on the new Carlisle Radial Trial HD? I had these on the previous trailer for about a year without any issues and have not notice any failures mentioned on the forums so just wondering if these tires are better now too.

Sorry, but I don't any data.

First, my experience was with a major tire manufacturer and we only tracked RETURNS for THAT manufacturer. I retired 7 years ago, so not only do I not have current data on ANY current tire, I don't have ANY data at all. What I have been doing is looking at reports on this and other forums and the one that stands out is the Goodyear Endurance. It's the only one I know of where I can track when it was introduced AND there have been no reports of failures. I am sure that eventually there will be a failure reported because consumers don't know how to discern the difference between a road hazard related failure and a failure caused by the design. (Please note: My experience says that by far and away, it is the design - that is, the materials used and where they are placed - that results in failures and not defects - things that aren't supposed to be there and things that aren't there that are supposed to be.)
