Trailer tires....Carlisles....

[bigtex661]

any body tried the new carlisle radial trail rh trailer tires...i used to have carlisle tires on my trailer about 6 years ago and they were friggin junk...i had 3 blowouts with them...but im also tired of having blowouts with any trailer tire that i have been using..i always use a 10 ply tire but my toyhauler weighs 10500 dry so im kinda pushing it on the weight so im looking for a load range f or g but i cant find it with a 15 in rim...my tire size on my trailer is 225 75 r15

I buy Maxxis. Never had a problem. Make sure whatever tire you get, have them balanced, it is well worth the extra $$$. ALL trailer tires are made in...you guessed it, CHINA.

carlisle are junk they only make good lawn/garden tires and atv tires. Buy maxxis, double kings, triangles, super trails, gladiators, good years ect ect but not carlisle.

i know carlisles are junk but the guy at discount tire swears up and down that they redid their tires and they are a lot better than they used to be....i was looking at the maxxis tires....anything to help me from having blowouts every year will be helpful

More plys won’t help, you’re limited out near the 15” wheel's weight and psi capacity as it is.

The trouble-free solution is to bump up to a 16” rim with the same 6-bolt pattern.
With 16s and only needing an extra 1/2” to fit, now you can select a higher quality LT225/75R-16E tire with dozens to choose from.

Instead of 65mph ST ‘china bombs’ running 140+* sidewall temps, now you’ll have 99mph LTs with cooler 100* sidewalls and an increase to 2,680 lbs weight rating instead of 2,540 on the ST.
Worry-free travels looking forward instead of watching the rear for the next blowout tearing up your fender wells.

Duravis R250 LT225/75R-16E....sidewalls don't squat, standin' tall.

hey hook em i kind of like that idea of running light truck tires but im gonna need one that holds more than 2650 pounds as my toyhauler weighs 10,500 pounds dry and with all my toys, water, beer and all the goodies im pushing 12500....what kind of lt tire should i get that would be safe carrying all that weight

RV mfrs rate their trailers differently from utility trailers. Whereas a trailer with tandem 6-lug 5200lb axles comes with a 9,995lb GVWR, an RV with the same axles will be rated at 12k GVWR. Pin weight is included.

Subtract your pin weight (on the truck) from the RVs total weight and you’ll come in right at the ST tire’s limits. The LT gives you another 140# beyond that in a much better made tire.

10,500 dry and its only a 2 axle trailer, what brand is that thing? Are those Dexters under that? That's one heavy a** trailer. What tires did it have new? TowMax are a great trailer tire, but I think you need a third axle.

its a 2004 thor tahoe fury 29ft.

so do they make an lt tire for a 15in rim or do i need to suck it up and by new 16in rims...
