In the past there were a ton of stories about Carlisles failing. However, several years ago they went through a redesign and seem to have improved dramatically. I got them on a new boat trailer about 3 or 4 years ago and was apprehensive, but they have been perfect. You can also find reviews on them that seem to place them at least as good as, if not better, than most trailer tires. The biggest thing with trailer tires is to keep them at the right pressure and replace them every 4 years even if the tread is in good shape. No trailer tire lasts forever and for a couple hundred dollars, it is cheap insurance for keeping you off of the side of a busy freeway.[/QUOTE]

well thats good to know.. do you trailer long distances?

and i was looking at going from a C rated to a D rated load rating, and i saw that the max psi increases from 50 to like 65-70..   i ran the Cs around 45 cold, what the heck should i run the Ds?[/QUOTE]
