Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | OK Steve-My appology to Tuffy! I realize now I should not have said anything about Tuffy using the same tire. I deliberately left out the tire manufacturer. But I did say, I couldn't understand why they were failing. He is pretty anal about caring for his truck & boat. The boat is cleaned & polished after every trip. They were Carlisle's, I really don't care, they were not on my trailer, but my friend's boat trailer.
Really funny- I'm running Cooper Discoverer ATR's on my Chevy truck. But seriously why would 3 out of 4 Carlisles fail in less than one year with identified/verified failure mode as ply separation? Perhap's my buddy just got lucky and had the "bad run". His primary bitch is it's cost him three replacement tires in less than 1 year w/ no guarantee the replacements won't fail via the same failure mode. He's afraid to mix tire brands and has been replacing them with Carslisles. So far nobody from Carlisle has stepped up to the plate. Maybe instead of saying cheap tires, I should have said bad tires.
