alto of the cheaper trailer manfg use used tires, Especially car trailers, but they want let ya bring your own tires and rims

The trailer mfg will buy lump somes of tires with wheels on them,like phragle said theres no telling how long that tire sat there, just think a trailer mfg and one guy is in charge of putting tires on them that lazy ass ain't pulling from the bottom of that stack.

On my Scarab trailer I had some blow up just sitting in the parking lot in the sun.i though somebody was doing something to them, the tread would blow off and big ass hole in the tire.weird


from what Ive seen 7 years max sitting, i have a 99 trailer that just sits ,it has craters in it,said and tread.My Myco started blow out tires at 7 years old, no sign of cracks at all!! after one fender, all the brake lines twice, I just bought all new tires,

Get rid of the Carlisles they are junk. Load Range E tire will be a 16" tire. Sounds like you have a triple axle trailer so you might be able to use 15s but I'm not sure. Here's a Goodyear trailer tire with a G rating;

Here's the Marathon;

Phragle is correct be sure and check the born on date on each tire before you buy it. If you have a friend in the tire biz ask him how to read it so you'll know before you buy.

I just dont like the air press on the G 614, its has to have a ruff ride,

mama tryed

the date will be in a circle past the size stamp,, it will say something like 4506 , that means it was made the 45 week of 2006.

whats up Rob,, we sell the snot out of these mostly for the big 3 and 5 Horse Trailers. You could be right about the ride but I've never heard any complaints about them except the cost, I think there around $229.00 a tire now.

Funny how everyone *****es about Carlisle tires.I have never had a problem with any of my Carlisles,matter of fact I'm going to buy six more here shortly since the tires on my trailer are almost five years old.I was in Discount Tire recently talking about trailer tires and they said they have more problems with Goodyear Marathons than any other trailer tire they sell.

You're the first person I've ever seen say anything good about Carlisles. I don't remember what brand I had on my boat trailer(it was stolen over 3 years ago) but I think they were Goodyears.

I buy my tires from Discount Tire too. They have always given me excellent service, their reps are always up on their tire and wheel brands and free air is a plus! The only downside is they charge me $50 to rotate the tires on my dually but I can understand why since they have to dismount all of them so I guess that's pretty cheap after all.

never enuff

If you can, change to 16" tires and rims. You will have a bigger choice of tires. If it is to costly or if 16's won't fit, one of the few manufactures that make a 10 ply 15" trailer tire is Maaxis. People that have them seem to be having really good luck with them. The one thing that is indisputable is--- You can never have to much tire on a trailer. The one good thing about Goodyear trailer tires is Goodyears replacement policy and there willingness to replace any damaged parts on your trailer caused by a blowout, that is, if you survive after the blowout.
