Another Tire Question
Wal-Mart is an attractive place to buy tires because of the ability to get warranty work anywhere in the US. My 225 75R/15 Westlake OEM tires are almost 3 years old, have between 20K and 30K miles on...

When I replaced my OE 205/75R15 LRC I put Carlisle 225/75R15 HD on my 26' Koala trailer, and run them @ 65 psi. My trailer is a lightweight trailer, and the tire dealer installed LRE instead of LRD as I ordered, but they were already installed so I kept them rather than reorder the LRD/s as we were ready to head west.
We put about 7500 miles on them, so far, to Albuquerque and back to SC.
Being as though they are 10 ply tires, and are a bit stiffer, I get a bit of sway due to the wear in the traffic lanes from the heavy trucks, but overall I'm pleased with them so far. I think it's a good choice in a tire.
Aren't they stamped as max 80PSI on the side wall? I wonder if additional pressure would stop some of the sway you experienced? I've read that higher pressure will minimize any sway from sidewall flex. I always run my tires at max sidewall PSI anyway. Thanks for the information. I think I'm getting ready to place an order for 4 of these Carlisle HD's in LR-E.
