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...

There is up grading and there is just taking a stab in the dark… like many recommend here…
To upgrade the tire must equal or better the load rating as stated on the tire placard on the trailer, and the tire must match the rim speciation’s including bead profile, rim width, PSI rating, and load ratings… then they need to fit under the trailer with sufficient clearances on all sides and between the tires… it’s not some mythical number…
It’s not enough to say a tire is rated for so many pounds so it should work… and being popular wouldn’t matter if you landed in court after an accident… recently it was reported by many on here that the Vanco 2 tires are a popular choice and used by many here… well here is what the tire mfg. said to the direct question about the Vanco commercial line of tires…
Dear John,

Thank you for contacting Customer Relations at Continental Tire the Americas, LLC.
We no longer manufacture ST tires, and the Vanco line is not a suitable alternative.
We would recommend searching for a dedicated ST tire line.

Also all position doesn’t always mean trailer positions with every manufacture and its wrong to make that claim…
some list steer only, and some drive only, while some say all position, it isn’t their position that it includes trailer tires, yet some do however indicate all position truck/ trailer tire…
it’s always your money, your choice, and your risk… no one here is going to back you when things go wrong…
if you change to LT tires it is far better to do it the right way, which is more involved, and that is seldom offered in forums like this… or follow the mfg. recommendations…
