RUn2it Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I second that on Carlisle tires, told my brother about them when he bought his hauler, a few months later he was leaving Vegas for Dumont and had a blowout. He called me to inform of the delay and I reminded him to check the other 3 and he found the tread separating on those so back to Vegas for 4 new tires. I'd say they were junk, but I'm not one to gossip. {;o) Quote
cdavego Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 NICE REPAIR JOB HOPE IT DIDN'T BLOW THE WHOLE TRIP FOR YOU Quote
vegas450r Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 no, they aren't Carlisle. they're freeways. That's what come on trailer when i got it at carson's trailer on boulder hwy. I had another trailer for 3yrs, that i bought from carson's. never had a tire problem with them These tires were rated at 1850 #'s at 50 psi. I just checked tire pressures about 3 weeks ago before my last trip. Quote

We sometimes replace the rim too after a catastropic failure. Quote

mineurbiz Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Nice fix You know that Carlisle owns ITP! Not that it makes them a good trailer tire, but they make nice ATV tires. Edited October 12, 2007 by mineurbiz Quote
