| My travel trailer has carlisle st225/75r15 radial trail tires. while towing the trailer on june 13th, 2010 i noticed it was swaying, even though the wind did not appear to be blowing very much and i was towing it using a weight distributing hitch and anti-sway bar. upon inspection of the tires i found that the belts had failed on 2 of the tires, the right front and left rear. on the right tire the belts were broken around the entire circumference of the tire, the left tire had a bulge in one area. in the fall of 2009 the belts broke around the entire circumference of the tire on another one of these same model tires on this same trailer. | |||
