This message is me talking from MY EXPERIENCE with these tires. Please, please check your tire brand on your trailer. What I thought was a good tire; well I was totally wrong. I bought my CM trailer back in Dec of 2003. I had no problems with my tires until I went to Regina in August which is a 1600 mile trip each way. I blew out 2 tires; one on the way there, and one on the way back. Not fun when you do this on an interstate; luckily I was able to get the rig safely off the road and into a quiet area to change them.
I called Carlisle tires and they won't do squat! I've used 1/32" tire wear, which is nothing; that means that with about 12000 miles on these tires, they are vitually garbage. What do you expect? they were made in China.
The moral of the story? When you go out and spend 23K plus on a trailer, and the cheap buggers put crap tires on your trailer? Don't let them. If they won't change them, don't buy the trailer. According to head office of Carlisle tires? No problems! According to a google search? Plenty of tread separation from other users.
Please, don't go through what I did. Check your tires and get rid of the Chinese made crap! These tires have been well maintained, balanced, and filled with Nitrogen to help them run cool. All that and I'm now out about $1500 dollars in 2 destroyed fenders, and having to purchase 4 new tires.
