I had carlisle's for 6 years with alot of miles and no issuses. Two months ago it was time for another four. Figure I would stick with Carlisle's since no problems. First week with new tires, a tire comes apart. About one foot section missing out of it. It was 97 degrees out. Tire store said I caught something in the road to cause it. Not sure what would cause a section of tire to peal off and the tire was still inflated.

Carlisles Suck. The batch you had must have been all the good ones from that week.
I have yet to find a trailer tire brand that does not have problems after they get to be a few years old.

I'm gonna echo what Griff said, Carlisles suck, end of story. You got lucky.

I've had 5 trailer flats this year. Two on my enclosed trailer in May on the way to the Sand Dunes, and three on my boat trailer in the last 3 weeks. Two of the flats on the boat trailer were on the same day.

I called my tire warehouse and asked them what tire I could buy from them that was worth a $hit. They had no answer to my request.

I'm beginning to think it's a crap shoot with these things.

I went through 4 Goodyear Marathons in 1200 miles two weeks ago on the destin trip. Tires were less than two years old.......

I just bought 5 new tires for my rv. After much research i found the Goodyear G614RST to be the best tire out there. 110 PSI with 3750 lbs. per tire weight limit. Not cheap but i had a set that went almost 6 years before changing.

ditto what he said, I have never had a tire failure in 5 years on my myco that wasnt bearing related..meaning when the bearing and hub went, then and only then did tire go boom.

at about 7 years old mine started seperating, I replaced them all 2008 and no prob since:drink:

ST Trailer Tires just suck ass period.

Go with LT Truck Tires. My Myco has the same Goodyears on it as above, but I recommend the Firestone TransForce LT truck tires for replacements. I ran them on my last trailer, as have several friends and they are great tires.
