I had 4 carlisle st225-75-r15 tires fail that were on my 2004 gulf stream trailer. the treads seperated on 2 of the tires and destroyed the fenders and slide room wiring. the first tire was replaced 1 month after i picked up the trailer in november of 2003, the dealer noticed a large bubble in the sidewall. the second tire blew out without warning near anaconda montana in 2005 and the third tire was changed when i noticed the tread seperating when checking tire pressure at monument valley utah in 2006. the fouth tire blew out near eagleville missouri in 2006. all the tires that failed including the replacement tire from carlisle. carlisle would not pay for the tire with the tread seperating or replacement tires, however they did pay for the damaged fender. air pressure was checking every morning and tires were within the load specifications. these tires are unsafe and should be recalled. with hundreds of reported failures i cannot believe that they are still allowed to sell these junk unsafe tires in the united states. |
