Trailor Tires?

[TeamAllen]

Tucker Tire in Laguna Niguel is a great place. I bought the Carlile tire's from America's tire. I tow my skis to Lake Powell every year and wanted a company that had a national presence and free re-balancing. I have an extra tire w/out rim I can sell. It was buy three get one free and I only needed three.

My experience is you need to replace the tires every 5 years regardless of condition. After that you are on borrowed time.

I might take you up on that Lewis, I need a spare for my Trailer (Zieman), I'll check the size this afternoon and let you know. How much do you want for it?

I have read about tons of failures on Carliles too. A lot of people have had multiple failures when they have replaced them under warranty. These are on big trailers though. Any off brand tire can probably stand up to the light loads of a ski.

That's what I did, same tires & store. I have been super happy with the Carlisle radials. They wear very well and evenly. I have not seen any cupping or other funky wear patterns, unlike the cheap Chinese OEM tires that came on the trailer.

I will be replacing mine soon as they are nearly to the wear bars after ~20,000 miles. I have not had any problems with them.

Make sure to have them balanced.

Wow, I've never seen anyone wear out their trailer tires. That's amazing! Congratulations. Usually they need to be replaced due to age , not wear.

Thanks for the reminder to get them balanced.

Yeah my last set on my toy hauler I did a trip to Reno, Lake Powell, a couple to San Luis Obispo, lots of Johnson Valley, Ocotillo and Glamis trips and my tread still looked like new. Finally had to replace them because of cracks. I still don't think that is anywhere close to 20,000 though. I think I only got like 40,000 on my truck and I drive it to work on top of towing the trailer and I had the truck for a while before the trailer. I only work 15 days a month and only live 12 miles from work though.
