Had four out of six Carlisles blow in the same 200 mile trip. Replaced them with BFG Commerial T/A radials three years ago. Put on 5000 miles a year and they really are not showing any wear. Much easier to find replacements if you have problems on the road than trailer tires.

Have you guys ever heard about Titan Trailer Tires?They are made by Dico.I heard about them on a Camping Web site.I inquired about them at a local tire store (Tri-County) and they were available,but pricey.

I hear that Titan trailer tires are good. They make a ST225/75R15 in load range E as well, and Titan tires are made in USA.

The Only reason you would buy a Bias Trl. Tire,,is because you can't affordor don't want to spend the money on a radial!!!!
Now, if you only put Two to Three hundred miles on your Trl. a year,,, you could probably get by with the lower cost Bias ply Tires. I guess I probably sell more GY Marathons than any thing else by a 4 to 1 margin. We have also had good luck with the General and Towmaster ST radials as well.
We have never handled the Titan in a Trl. Tire, but I know they make a Great Tractor Tire!!

Just checked...My trailer came with Towmaster. They look pretty good, hopefully they will hold up.
