I had two of 3 Carlisle's "goose egg" on me last year as well. One in October and one on the way to winter storage. The Carlisle's I've had also seem to wear rather quickly, just an observation.

Before I replaced the tires, I talked to my buddy, who owns a service shop, and asked him about tires. He told me to go with the Goodyears and to make sure to have them balanced. At the place I had them installed the tire manager told me repeatedly that they didn't need to be balanced. He kept telling me that trailers bounce too much so balancing was a waste of money. So anyways, after they balanced them....

I haven't towed the Goodyears yet, the boat's still in storage. Hopefully it'll be coming home next week.
