| Corey,
Single axle trailer? If so, here is what I know. One of my Carlisle's blew when it was three years old. Always inflated properly(read that, to the max recommended), and inspected periodically. When it blew, I was on the road for less than 15 miles, going 60. It slowed the truck/trailer instantly to 40, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw the back of my trailer come down from 4 feet in the air! It damaged the fender, step pads, wiring, and the aluminum wheel.
The tire was actually manufactured byGoodyear, to Carlisle Specs. I submitted the tire, and a claim to Goodyear. They issued a check that also included enough for the three new Marathons I bought, including mounting and Balancing.
I think Carlisle has changed design recently. Not 100% sure. I believe these tires said Trail Star, or Radial Trail on them. I will check tonight, as I still have the spare.
Bottom line, I would not run these on a trailer that is near the load rating on the tires. I would not tow above 55 MPH. I would keep pressure at Max recommended. I would not run more than 3 years.
That said, the tires on my new trailer are Ultra's. Never heard of them before. It's a tandem axle trailer, so they are not loaded as much.
