Looking for New Tires
Well my 25 month old Good Year Marthrons made in the USA let go on my 5th wheel. Luckly I have an Air Pressure Monitoring system. I got off the interstate with 40 lbs in the tire. The tire had a nail in it but the Steel belt was coming out half way around the tire.
No more Goodyears !!! I was looking at BFGoodridch TA's as I had on the other trailer. Stopped today at a tire store and a guy said look at Carlise they have a 12 ply tire but its a 85r rather than a 80r which is one inch taller. My axles are spacer at 33 inches C/C. the space between the old tires is 3 inches. I'm thinking we're good to go but don't know much about the Carlise Tires, but they are made in the USA. OK what do you think ???? Wayne |
I would not put Carlise tires on my Trailer if you gave them to me FREE.. they are the very bottom of quality.
|
I agree. No Carlisle here!!!!

yogi154,
What make of TPMS do you have for your 5er? As for tires, i tend to stick to the major brands, and Carlisle is not one of them. |
OK Ed and Seann, how about recommending a tire brand to the OP since Carlisles have been ruled out?
|
Yep that's what I figured Well my choice was and still is BFG TA's I had them on our Cardinal. I just checked my Goodyear's made in China. When I was at Jayco's factory I looked at the tires Made in the USA. Well I guess I didn't get them.
Pressure Pro System rated the best on a couple other fourms. Their teck is the best too, as they take their time to answer your questions. |
I've had good luck with Maxxis tires on my TT's over the years.., no complaints here.

Buy the Maxxis....great tire
|
As was said previously, I stick with major brands and Carlisle isn't one of them. I personally like Good Year and will be replacing my factory Marathons with G614's next year. I like the good reports on the Michelin XPS Ribs, but they don't have a high enough weight rating for my 5'er so I can't use them.
