Carlisle Radial Trail RH Trailer Tire???
My trailer (Nash 25-S, 1998) needs new tires. The largest tire stores in my area are the Discount Tire Stores & they HIGHLY recommend the NEW Carlisle trailer tires. I'm looking at the 225-75-15-E's...

Yes! The trailer did come with 205-75-15-C's. The next size up is 215-75-15's but, I found the 225-75-15-D's or E's fit very well & actually look more appropriate for the size of the trailer. No failures with the larger sizes, either.
All this was prompted by my friend with a Nash 24-A that had a blowout back east & replaced 4 tires & put the best, old tire on the rear bumper as the spare. By the time he got back to Phoenix, the SPARE had blown out on the sidewall & the tire wasn't even on the ground (early, Goodyear Marathon's).
That was enough for me to start doing some research.
What I found was that many tires had steel/polyester belts that when heated up, allowed the tire belts to expand & contract regularly. The new designs introduced an outer tread ply belt of nylon between the steel/polyester belts on the tread side. The nylon does not expand when heated & worked as a "girdle" holding the other ply's in their proper place. Seemed to help the longevity of the tires. The NEW Goodyear Marathon's had the letter "S" enclosed in a circle stamped on the sides of the tires & the addition of NYLON Belt in the area the showed what the tire was made of.
