We have relatively new Carlisles on a 5000 lb trailer and have had 2 blowouts this year. We keep the tires at 50 lbs pressure which is recommended on the sidewall. Searches show that Carlisles do tend to explode for other people too. We found Kumho trailer tires that have higher weight and speed ratings, but no testimonials from people who have them.
Does anyone have experience with Kumho trailer tires?
Anyone have another manufacturer recommendation??
most blowouts are not caused by the tires themselves . . .
but by too much weight on them, road hazards and inexperience!
take your fully loaded rig to a public scale (truck stops) and weigh it
sounds to me like you are overloaded
tires are rated according the load they are asked to carry, make sure of what you are asking your tires to do before you point your finger (and harsh words) at their maker
