| Description of the problem | Tires are on a new enclosed cargomate, by forest river car trailer. In seven months of use i have had 14 carlisle tire failures. Half were blow-outs and the others the tread separated, which lead to blow-outs. The trailer is under gvwr loaded. Tire pressure checked weekly. Carlisle replaced one set of six tires with a higher load range, these were the tires that the tread separated a couple still hold air, but don't have any tread at all. I have sent 6 tires to carlisle for inspection. Now i am waiting to see what carlisle tire and wheel is going to do about the 7 tires. The six and one spare. |
