I stopped in my local tire dealer yesterday to discuss putting the Michelin ribs LT tires on my road warrior as do not want the factory china bombs on it. He was ok with that decision but asked me about Carlisle Tires. He came up with a tire that rates at 3960 lbs at 95 psi. So even at 80psi it would rate around 3400 lbs which is more than the michelin or the goodyear g rated with only 80 psi. This is an american company and the specialize in utility tires they do import tires made to certain specs. No guarantee that they are not made in china. They have 12 and 14 ply tires in this line. http://www.carlisletire.com/products/trailer/radial_trail/index.html
I have read so many posts on this site and many others but there has been no mention of this tire. Is anybody else running these tires and if so what are your thoughts. I have trusted this dealers opinion for a few years and have never had him steer me wrong, so I'm leaning towards these now. the price was just under $775.00 for 4 tires mounted with metal valves (to hold the TMPS caps), spun balanced and filled with nitro. So they come in cheaper than the michelins or goodyears. I would appreciate your thoughts.
