Location: Oklahoma City, OK | I had a blow out on my 3 horse slant CM trailer on Sat. It has Carlisle tires on it. The trailer is 2.5 years old and has less than 20,000 miles on it. I'm looking for a replacement tire now, but I'm wondering if anybody else has experience with Carlisle tires? |

Location: South Central OK | F Goodrich makes a commercial grade tire for heavy wear, just find out what size you need and go to your local tire dealer and ask about what they recommend. My Ford dealer and Discount Tire carry this line. |

Location: Oklahoma City, OK | Thanks for the replies! Guess I will just replace the one tire right now (if I can find it!) and when I need a new set, look for another brand. I was afraid they aren't the best tire. I just put new tires on my truck and really can't spend the money for a new set for the trailer too! 8 |

If you don't replace them all now, you risk damage to your trailer. That is why I went ahead and replaced all of my tires after the second blow out. Yes it hurts. :-)
