I had 2 blowouts with Carlisles last August on the way home from Florida. I went out of town last weekend (without my boat) and when I got home I noticed that my SPARE (Carlisle) on my trailer was blown out
The tread had already started separating before but I guess the heat got to it and it let loose. I'm going today to get 2 new tires, (gonna take a chance with the old Carlisles as spares), since I bought 2 new ones on the way home from Florida last year.

I had GY for a while then had 3 of the 4 separate on way home from Keys last year. Trailer builder said he used to always use GY but a couple yrs back their quality went in the toilet and he has seen TONS of thread separation so quire using them. Tires were about 3.5 yrs old and although I tow fairly often I am way anal about trailer stuff and they were never run low etc. Builder sold me some off brand (Transmaster I think) he has had decent luck with....so far anyhow. I don't know if you can get a decent tire in my size. (14').
