I purchased a forest river 38' sand piper sport f37sp toy hauler fifth wheel new in 2003. The trailer was equiped with tandom axels. We experianced numerous tire blow outs. Each time the tire would blow it would blow up with pieces of rubber flying every where causing excessive damage to the rv and causing the trailer to become difficult to control until stopped and off the roadway. This was brought to the attention of forest river and also carlisle tire company.in 2005 we were contacted by a local rv dealer to bring our trailer in to have the axels replaced with a heaver axel and larger g rated tires. The expense was being paid for by forest river. The dealer told me that they were sending out letters to about 13 other owners in the utah and wyoming area to have thier trailers brought in for the trade out as well. I also know of people who own the same trailer in the las vegas area who have experianced the same problems. This action seemed to correct the problem for about a year. Since that time we have continued to have several more blow outs. Each and every time causing damage to the rv and causing a safety problem to our selves and other veh's traveling near to us.forest river has changed the design on these trailers and now is selling them provided with a triple axel to support the weight of the trailer. I believe this has corrected the problem, however, we and many others or stuck with the tandom axel trailers that were produced before the problem was corrected. I believe there should be something that forest river can do to fix this problem for us and make this trailer safe to operate and use. As of this dated we have replaced aprox 12 tires.

Purchased four new carlisle rv tireson march 4 2009, size 225/75 r15/e1,one tire exploded inaugust 2009 and the second one exploded on january31 1010 causing some damage to rv.this is a1999 fifth wheel that had goodyear and maxxis tires as the two previous sets with load range d and no problems at all.
The contact owns a 2008 ww horse trailer (n/a) equipped with carlisle radial tires, size: st225/75r/15. The contact stated that while the horse trailer was parked, the front and rear driver's side tires blew. The tires were not repaired or diagnosed.

On may 4, 2018, i bought 3 each carlisle radial trail rh trailer tires in size st235/85r16 load range f for my jayco eagle 323lkts rv.i bought a fourth just before that date.in october 2019, one failed catastrophically on level, paved road at 65mph with approximately 5000 miles on it. The entire tread, belts and internal structure separated, leaving only the sidewalls behind.i had visually inspected all tires for proper inflation and defects just 3 miles before the failure. On jun 8, 2020, a second tire failed catastrophically.this time, most of the tire is intact.the internal belts (steel, nylon and polyester) failed on level, paved highway at 65mph with approximately 7000 miles on it.part of the tread has separated.there is no sign of a puncture or sidewall damage which would have caused deflation prior to the steel belt failing.this failure damaged my rv.i do everything possible to avoid tire failure.i use load range f tires which are rated for 3960 pounds at 95 psi, stronger than load range e required by my rv.before every trip, i set the pressure at 95 psi, i check the lug nuts for proper torque, and i inspect the tires for nicks, cuts or other damage.i inspect my tires at every stop.i use wheel covers.my rv puts 2505 pounds load on each tire (12,100 lb loaded weight - 2080 hitch weight = 10,020lb / 4 tires = 2505lb), only 63% of the tire?s rated capacity.both tires were mounted by a tire shop and were balanced.the rv has no visible axle defect.neither of the tires exhibited unusual wear before failure.one failed due to steel belt failure, and the second likely failed due to the same cause.it is clear to me (i?m an engineer) that the belts are overstressed and/or are separating internally from surrounding rubber during turns when the tires are loaded laterally, then the belts are failing at high speed.it is my belief this model/design is defective and should be recalled as a safety hazard to the driving public.
Tire failure, at full pressure, 51psi, always maintained full pressure, because i saw a trailer just like mine destroyed by a low tire.belts came through the tire, tread separation, and a football sized bulge.
We bought a new fifthwheel camper in april 2006, it was built march 16, 2006.new, it came with carlisle 225/75r 15 tires load class d, with 2540lbs max load per tire, 65psi, single wheel, tandem axle,tire dot# 3ehhid09/05. We may have had 3000-4000 miles on the tires, i 've never moved the campersince we've had it without checking the tire pressure firstand making sure they were at 65psi cold.july 30, 2008 while at a campground i noticed the belts on the right front camper tire had come apart.the tread was deformed all around the tire, and the sidewall had waves and indentations near the tread. I put the spare on and we took off for our next location.we traveled 1-2 hours and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast.i checked the mirrors and noticed a blowout on the right rear camper tire.that tire was destroyed, with total tread seperation, and the steel belts hanging out all over.the flapping tread grabbed propane lines from under the camper stretching and crimping them to the point they need to be replaced.i put the other bad tire back on in an attempt to make it off the turnpike.we made it about ten miles before that tire exploded.same shotgun blast as before, same total tire failure, and more damage to underside of the camper, including the side fender skirting getting bent up.i un-hooked the camper on the turnpike and took the wheels with the shredded tires to buffalo and had new tires put on.we made it to our next location without further incident.august 5, 2008on i.s. 86we heard another shotgun blast, this time it was the front left tire on the camper.this blast caused a de-lamination of the fiberglass siding on the left side of the camper directly above the tire that exploded.i put the spare on again and found a tire dealer in jamestown new york to replace the bad tire, and had them replace the last carlisle that hadn't blown yet to avoid any further damage or possible injury.damage to all 3 tires was the same.

I have a 1988 ranger fisherman 17' boat on a ranger trail trailer.i bought it about 6 or 7 years ago.i replaced the old trailer tires with new carlisle st radials.they were st205/75/r14's.i use the boat once or twice a year.when it is not being used it is stored in a garage.on my recent fishing trip i had a blowout on the way to the lake.the tread came completely off of the tire, ruining my fiberglass fender on the trailer and ruining my boat cover.that wasn't bad enough apparently.on my way home from the lake, the other tire started to vibrate.we pulled over to check it and we could see that the tire tread was starting to separate from the tire.steel belt material was showing in a few places and it was losing air.fortunately we got to a little safer spot to fix the second tire.we spent two hours getting the second one fixed (since i didn't have a spare anymore).none of us were hurt fortunately.i have the second tire in my possession.

Summary:spare tire attached to side of horse trailer exploded while trailer was parked in full sun on hot day (100 degrees).no injuries. Damage limited to tire. Consequences: trailer operates with 4 identical tires. Are they safe?details: tire is a carlisle st 225/75r15, aq15dot, aqhh made in china. There is no mfg date on tires, but they were on new titan 2 horse bumper pull stock trailer 7/08. (note: titan - not a sundowner) spare was unused and underinflated (50 in a psi 65 tire). Trailer was usually parked under a tree but was in full sun 8/20/2010 when it blew. Old part is available. Will replace it but wonder if all 5 tires should be replaced with american made.
Carlisle tire, st215/75r14 mounted as a factory installed spare on a tennessee brand boat trailer. Tire has never been used, always as a spare. On 8/14/10, observed a "blister" had developed at the tire shoulder (where tread meets sidewall). On 8/21/10, a belt separated from the tire resulting in the tread and belt peeling from thetire (tread separation). There is a 6" wedge of belt sticking straight out of the tire where the tread split, and approx. 12" of tread has detached from the tire. I have never witnessed a tread separation failure like this on a tire that was a dedicated spare and has never been used.for reference: trailer is in a garage nov-mar. It is outdoors and exposed to elements apr-oct. Tire pressure checked monthly, and always before trips.
Tire blewout while hanging on my rv as a spare.it had approx 100 road miles on it.purchased in 5/09.drove from place of installation, (i10 s bound entry, evergreen, al) to my home (cantonment, fl) and then moved it to spare position (5/09) where it has remained.purchased as a new tire after having a blowout on the interstate.the steel belts look almost like a straight line was drawn and then cut.they blew in such a perfect line., not ragged as a normal blowout.i moved it to spare as the manufacture of the original tires on the rv replaced the original tires and they were diff brand and load range.
On july 16, 2009 we were heading in out in our fifth wheel, we were on i-15 heading south in utah and one of our tires had a blow out, we called our roadside assistance and the came and installed our spare tire. Then upon returning back home on july 19, 2009 we had another tire blow out on the same side of our fifth wheel, this time the other tire went and we had no spare because it was on our rv already. The tire are just over a year old and they don't have more than 2500 miles on them. We had to purchase a new tire from the roadside service that came and he looked at our remaining two tires on the left side and said we better replace them before our next trip and they were not good tires. The blow out happened on i-15 in utah and on state road 28 in utah by levan. The blowout happened on the right passenger side of our rv on two different days.the second blowout caused damage to our fifth wheel, it tore of the metal side wall, busted a light, damaged the gas line and the under or bottom wall of our fifth wheel. We are worried that the tires are defective and would like to have it looked into. We find it odd that we had two blowout in the same trip.thank you,shane and wendy murray

I have a 2004 keystone cougar 31qbhs travel trailer. I bought it used about 2 years ago. It had new tires on it when i bought it. On our second trip out (i check air pressure before leaving each time) i blew a tire. It has the discount tire - carlisle maxxus trailer tire - heaviest rated trailer tire i could get from them) it blew a tire within 45 miles of the house. Our third trip out we blew another tire. I went back to discount and they replaced all tires. On a trip this past weekend another tire separated and went flat. Another blew out on the return trip and another separated.i have someone where i store my trailer, that has an identical cougar and likewise has continual blowouts and tire problems. Looking on the web i see numerous problems reported on keystone cougar tire problems. This has to be a trailer design issue as i do not see how that many people can be having tire problems. In all my years of pulling farm trailers, horse trailers and travel trailers i have never had but a few blowouts and never over and over and over on the same vehicle.

The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The rv and tire failure mileage was unavailable. Updated 07/31/13*lj
I purchased a forest river 38' sand piper sport f37sp toy hauler fifth wheel new in 2003. The trailer was equiped with tandom axels. We experianced numerous tire blow outs. Each time the tire would blow it would blow up with pieces of rubber flying every where causing excessive damage to the rv and causing the trailer to become difficult to control until stopped and off the roadway. This was brought to the attention of forest river and also carlisle tire company.in 2005 we were contacted by a local rv dealer to bring our trailer in to have the axels replaced with a heaver axel and larger g rated tires. The expense was being paid for by forest river. The dealer told me that they were sending out letters to about 13 other owners in the utah and wyoming area to have thier trailers brought in for the trade out as well. I also know of people who own the same trailer in the las vegas area who have experianced the same problems. This action seemed to correct the problem for about a year. Since that time we have continued to have several more blow outs. Each and every time causing damage to the rv and causing a safety problem to our selves and other veh's traveling near to us.forest river has changed the design on these trailers and now is selling them provided with a triple axel to support the weight of the trailer. I believe this has corrected the problem, however, we and many others or stuck with the tandom axel trailers that were produced before the problem was corrected. I believe there should be something that forest river can do to fix this problem for us and make this trailer safe to operate and use. As of this dated we have replaced aprox 12 tires.
The contact owns a 2010 bison trail express trailer equipped with carlisle radial trail st235/80/r16 tires. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when she noticed that the rear passenger tire was missing some of its tread. The tire was removed and replaced by a spare tire. Approximately one month later while driving approximately 65 mph, the rear driver's side tire blew out. The tire was removed and replaced with a spare tire. The vehicle was taken to a tire dealer, where all of the tires were replaced. The failure mileage was 2,000. The vin was unavailable.
On september 9, 2013 my husband & i were coming home to west palm beach florida from mt airy maryland traveling on i95 south bound just over the virginia line we had a left rear tire on our 5th wheel trailer go flat. We changed the tire ourselves and continue on to the next truck stop and asked the service department to fix our flat we did not want to be without a spare tire we still had 1000 miles to home.they told us it could not be repaired it was split all around.we were on i95 sb at mile marker 82 near dunn north carolina at 5pm had one right tire the tread separated and the tire next to it blew causing $7,000+ to our 5th wheel trailer and also damaged the 5th wheel hitch.we had to purchase 3 new tires and sat on i95 from 5pm to 9pm before getting back on the road.the damage was bad enough but the trailer service company stated it was inches away from the propane tanks and we were very lucky the trailer did not catch on fire and explode from the electrical wiring torn apart. We were very glad our grandkids where at home in mt. Airy maryland and that the accident did not happen on the way to take them home.the four new tires were only 2 years old and had less than 3400 miles on them.fortunately there were no injuries or other vehicles involved. We will also need to buy 1 more tire to replace the 4th carlisle tire we still have - we will not travel with that tire either on the trailer or as a spare.we do not trust carlisle tires.our out of pocket expenses are so far approximately $1000.
I have had a total of 4 carlisle tire blowouts and the recent was a tread separation on 7-21-12. 3 years ago, carlisle replaced my 4 blowouts with 10 ply st225/75/r15. Tires are on 2006 canyon trail 5th wheel. On 7-21-12, i had tread separate on one tire. I am very concerned that my others will go very soon now. All tires have less than 1000 miles on them. All tires are properly inflated, not overloaded, and driven at 55 mph. They are lifted off ground during winter months and always covered when parked. These tires need serious review. Although no one was injured, my trailer did swerve around between lanes which luckily no one was next to me or there would have been injuries or death. These tires are very dangerous and this is my 6th problem with the same make and size tires. Please conduct a prompt review of this and all other carlisle tires. Previously the tires caused $1800 damage to trailer, i have not got an estimate on this latest yet since it just happened but i am sure $ will be the same as it appear about the same damage again. I am fed up with carlisle and sooner or later someone is going to die because of their tires. Please look in to this - something needs to be done very fast before its too late.
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.
The contact owns a 2004 dodge 3500 hitched with a 2017 pacific coast powerlite 3213 (na). The trailer was equipped with castle rock radial st tires, size: p235/80r/16 (na). While fueling the vehicle, an eyewitness observed and informed the contact that the rear driver side tire had a bubble. The contact called roadside assistance (emergency road service in eloy, arizona) who diagnosed that the tires were improperly mounted. As a result, air entered the tire and caused beads to form. In addition, the steel cord separated. The tire was replaced with a spare tire. The emergency road assistance representative also observed that the same failure was occurring with the front driver side tire and stated that the rear passenger and front and rear tires had cracks on the sidewalls. All four tires needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted twice. The contact left a voice message asking for a return call; however, he was unable to reach anyone and the email address was no longer valid. The contact also left a voice message with the dealer (sunset rv, 1606 51st ave e, fife, wa, 98424). The approximate failure mileage for the tires and trailer was 4,000.
Purchased a horse trailer, brand new, early 2010.came equipped with 5 carlisle radial trailer tires (1 spare).two of the tires have been lost to ply separation.a third shredded on the road, so i cannot say with certainty that it separated also, but would bet that was the case.carlisle did replace one of the tires for me under warranty in june 2012, although the warranty was out by a few months.on july 22, 2102, the third tire went bad.tires were all properly inflated and my trailer was not overloaded.i still have one of the original installed tires on the trailer that i am sure will fail soon.my trailer is not listed as an option under the vehicle section, so here is the information: 2010 keifer built evolution 793;gvwr 14,000.all failures occurred with approximately 10,500 pounds.tow vehicle was 2002 dodge 2500 diesel truck.i only selected featherlite because it is a horse trailer.i will be very happy to talk with you about this complaint and will be happy to provide any additional information.
I experienced a tire blow out on my 2010 keystone springdale rv. The tires have less then 1000 miles on them. The tire is a carlisle st225/75r15 radial trail. I noticed a "bubble" in the side wall just prior to the blow out. The tire separated and burst. Thankfully i was traveling at a load rare of speed and no accident occurred. I was able to change to my spare. Upon inspection of the remaining three tires, i noticed one more with a "bubble" and the other two with cracks in the sidewalls. I will be having them replaced upon my return home.
Purchased new canyon trail fifth wheel camping trailer on 8/22/2005.used very little and accumulated less than 10,000 miles to date and have alwaysbeen religious about maintaining proper tire pressure in tires before each trip.we are also well below the maximum loading for the trailer or the tires.tires are the carlisle radial trail st225/75r15 (dot 9q hh id - radial tubeless - load range d - for trailer service only - made inchina).have sustained 3 catastrophic blowouts since 10/07.each incident occurred while traveling on free-ways doing 60 mph.each incident also resulted in damage to wiring, fenders, and structural pieces near the wheel wells.flinging chunks of rubber when the tire blew and changing tires on the a free-way shoulder are in themselves hazardous.the first two incidents i discarded remains of damaged tire (sidewalls only were left).this last incident (#3), i replaced it and one good tire as i realized i was riding on defective tires.the mechanic changing the tires pointed out that the 'good' tire had belt separation and would have also failed soon.this time i saved theblown-out tire and two of the 'good' tires (both showing signs of belt separation).i called carlisle tire and wheel company concerning their warranty and was told they areonly give warranties for the first two years regardless of circumstances including depth of tread remaining on the tire.looking at the other emails in your search complaints section for these identical tires, there appears to be many others confronting the same dangers and problems that i have endured.as i mentioned i have the last blown tire with half the tread and most of the shredded sidewall in tact and i have the two 'good' tires with there signs of belt separation.i have never been more convinced that these tires are defective and dangerous.please help getting them off the road and having carlisle show some responsibility.
I purchased a set of five (including the spare) new carlisle trailer tires in early 2009 from discount tire in columbus, ohio. The tires are carlisle st205/75r-15/d1 radial trail. These were replacement tires for the original travel trailer tires which were a load range c, the radial trail's are load range d. Since that time one tire failed during a trip in june of 2010 and was replaced at a discount tire in ogden, utah. Later in october of 2010 on our most recent trip three of the remaining carlisle tires failed. I replaced four tires at that time in oklahoma city at a discount tire. I have since placed my trailer in storage. Upon inspection of the tires on my trailer i noticed sidewall bulge on two of the new replacement carlisle tires exactly in the same spot as the four tires that failed. This is with less than 30 days in storage.i no longer feel safe towing my trailer with these tires. Six (6) tire failures in this amount of time and on basically brand new tires is outrageous. Fortunately, there have been no personal injuries or equipment damage to this point from the tire failures, but it is just a matter of time before one or both happen. My travel trailer is a 2008 prowler 250 cks. I have filed a claim with carlisle tire and wheel but felt compelled to report this failure as a definite safety issue with a potential for a loss of life.
In september of 2012 we experienced a tire blow out on our vintage airstream trailer. Our tires, however, were not vintage. They were 25 months old and had less than 10,000 miles on them. We were going 45 mpg and had just left home; about 20 miles away from home. The outside air temp was about 75 degrees. We put these tires on our trailer new in august 2010. Specifically, we purchased them aug 28 2010. The pair of tires is rated for 4300 lbs. Our trailer weights about 3500 fully loaded. Before the incident, we used our trailer about one weekend per month; with exception on winter months, when it sat unused for about 4 months straight.
Traveling north on i-65 outside bowling green ky traveling@60 miles per hour in the right lane. Rear tire blew out on passenger side of rv. Causing 3000.00 damage to rv. Repaired by duncan rv repair in elkhart, in. Deductible was $750. Replaced both tires on the passenger side with the drivers side tires and install new carlisle tires on drivers side. Tire turned over to progressive ins. Carlisle refused to return my deductible. That was the first blowout in july 23 2015 the second blowout was june 12 2016. This time it was the front tire on the passenger side dame batch with a build date of "0114". The damage to the rv was more extensive so far the cost to repair is more than $5000 with a $500.00 deductible. Has not been repaired yet but have an apt in oct at duncans again. Before every trip i ensure that there is 95psi in each tire and that the torque on the lugs is 110 ft lbs. Ant every rest stop the temp of the tires are measured with a infrared thermometer to ensure that everything is good.
Third carlisle radial trail tire to blow on our three axle 34 foot rv trailer on september 14, 2009 while returning from minneapolis, traveling west on interstate 80 at 10:15 a.m. At about mile marker 272, near the east side of the kearney ne. Exit, the center road (driver) side carlisle tire on our three axle rv trailer blew out.we pulled over as soon as possible (within 150 feet) and replaced the blown tire/wheel with the spare and continued on to julesburg colorado, where we had the blown tire replace with a non carlisle tire.after the tire was replaced we continued home to colorado springs, colorado. We had spent the night of 13 september on the west side of omaha ne, and had been on the road for about 3 hours with 3 stops before the third tire blew. Note: i carry a compressor and two tire gauges, and always check the tire pressure for 62 to 65 psi (cold) each day before traveling.the estimated max weight of the rv trailer on all of these trips was around 9,000 lbs. We always keep our speed below 65mph while traveling with the rv trailer.
Tires are on a new enclosed cargomate, by forest river car trailer.in seven months of use i have had 14 carlisle tire failures. Half were blow-outs and the others the tread separated, which lead to blow-outs. The trailer is under gvwr loaded.tire pressure checked weekly.carlisle replaced one set of six tires with a higher load range, these were the tires that the tread separated a couple still hold air, but don't have any tread at all. I have sent 6 tires to carlisle for inspection. Now i am waiting to see what carlisle tire and wheel is going to do about the 7 tires.the six and one spare.

I bought a new featherlite 4926 24' aluminum car trailer with carlisle trail rated tires.this trailer hauls my 3240 pound car, plus about 350 pound of gear plus the trailer that is 3410 pounds empty.with two 4800 pound rated axles and having a rating of about >3000 pounds per tire there would be a safe margin (>12,000# tire rating on 9600# gvw with an ~7000# load). I never had any hint of tire issues until this last trip.also, the tires are covered if the trailer is parked for more than overnight.we left on saturday, june 12, 2010 from florida heading to bowling green, ky.we lost the first tire (left side ' forward) in northern georgia and put on the spare.we stopped in ringgold, georgia that night.on sunday, june 13, 2010, i bought an lt 235/85-r16 tire and had it mounted on the rim from the failed carlisle tire and saved the failed tire.we put the new tire on in place of the spare.we then left for bowling green, ky, arriving on june 13, 2010 without further incident.given the loss of the first tire, i decided to get another spare (which i eventually needed).i purchased another rim from and had another lt 235/85-r16 tire (to match the other purchased tire) mounted on the new rim.on sunday june 20, 2010, i checked the tire pressures in all tires including the spares, and left for home.in tennessee, ~7 miles after leaving a rest stop another carlisle tire failed (left side ' rear).we put the new spare on and continued on.we then lost the right side ' rear carlisle tire in middle georgia.i put on the original spare and went on to perry, georgia without incident.i bought two more lt 235/85-r16 tires and had them mounted on the rims with the failed carlisle tires.we removed the remaining carlisle tire and original spare and put on the new light truck tires and no further problems.
I have a 2004 keystone cougar 31qbhs travel trailer. I bought it used about 2 years ago. It had new tires on it when i bought it. On our second trip out (i check air pressure before leaving each time) i blew a tire. It has the discount tire - carlisle maxxus trailer tire - heaviest rated trailer tire i could get from them) it blew a tire within 45 miles of the house. Our third trip out we blew another tire. I went back to discount and they replaced all tires. On a trip this past weekend another tire separated and went flat. Another blew out on the return trip and another separated.i have someone where i store my trailer, that has an identical cougar and likewise has continual blowouts and tire problems. Looking on the web i see numerous problems reported on keystone cougar tire problems. This has to be a trailer design issue as i do not see how that many people can be having tire problems. In all my years of pulling farm trailers, horse trailers and travel trailers i have never had but a few blowouts and never over and over and over on the same vehicle.
Tire failure, at full pressure, 51psi, always maintained full pressure, because i saw a trailer just like mine destroyed by a low tire.belts came through the tire, tread separation, and a football sized bulge.
Carlisle radial trail rh st205/75r15 107b (lrd) trailer tire blow out. Manufacture date '1914'. 7,684 miles on set of tires, 7/32 tread depth remaining. Max speed of 65 mph observed. Tire pressures maintained and monitored with tst 507 tpms. No external signs of pending failure. Hub of axle repacked 1 1/2 years prior, not hot to touch when changing tire. Trailer weight 75% of carrying capacity of tires based on cat scale. Damage to trailer and wiring when tread ejected from casing. Tire being returned to carlisle for evaluation to determine cause of failure.
During a routine highway trip (60+mph), a relatively new tire (7,000 miles of use), that was properly inflated (90psi), mounted on a loaded horse trailer, disintegrated. The failure caused a momentary loss of control, but the driver regained control and got the vehicle safely onto the shoulder of the road.a passing state patrol officer helped install the spare tire. The trailer's fender was damaged by the failed tire. The trooper offered his opinion that the tire failed due to structural/quality issues, rather than low tire pressure.the tire in question was a carlisle radial trail rh, specifically designed for trailers.it was not a recap.but it failed like a recap.most of the tread peeled off the carcass.
I have a 2006 alfa travel trailer that has 4 carlise tires on it.this trailer has less than 1,000 miles on it, that is only 2 trips. A trucker pulled up next to us and told us that we had tire problems.i looked and the curb side tires were smoking.i pulled over to the side of the road and the tread of one of the tires had swelled and was contacting the other tire.the tread would have come off if the axles would have been farther apart.i always inflate my tires to the recommended pressure and i am a real stickler about checking them.look on the internet! these tires are dangerous and are going to cause many deaths if something is not done.if that tire would have blown on the road we were on i have no doubt it would have flipped!!this is so scary and it is time for the government to step up and do something about it.
Carlisle trailer tire failed after less than 2 years and less than 2000 miles of use.it appears the tread split down the middle then detached.this is the second such failure in less than two years.i'm trying to find a decent trailer tire.
I have a 1988 ranger fisherman 17' boat on a ranger trail trailer.i bought it about 6 or 7 years ago.i replaced the old trailer tires with new carlisle st radials.they were st205/75/r14's.i use the boat once or twice a year.when it is not being used it is stored in a garage.on my recent fishing trip i had a blowout on the way to the lake.the tread came completely off of the tire, ruining my fiberglass fender on the trailer and ruining my boat cover.that wasn't bad enough apparently.on my way home from the lake, the other tire started to vibrate.we pulled over to check it and we could see that the tire tread was starting to separate from the tire.steel belt material was showing in a few places and it was losing air.fortunately we got to a little safer spot to fix the second tire.we spent two hours getting the second one fixed (since i didn't have a spare anymore).none of us were hurt fortunately.i have the second tire in my possession.
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.
Very violent tire blowout on trailer----this is the second tire blowout under similar circumstances in less then 3 months. Both times we were not overloaded and tire pressures were 73 to 75 lbs on the first one and 80lbs on the second blowout. ( i have pictures if you want them).
Blown tire on rv for no reason other than st tires not fit by karrier to profied a safe tire under load conditions and current speed limits. Forrest river should step up to the plate and recall tires. My tires are by karrier load star cariles was all that was listed.

Use one year to about 5,000 miles and big chunk of tread fell of one tire. Was on the road and had to call rv road service. They found defects in all tires and did not want us to continue driving. He replaced all tires and gave us a description of defects on our statement.
We bought a new fifthwheel camper in april 2006, it was built march 16, 2006.new, it came with carlisle 225/75r 15 tires load class d, with 2540lbs max load per tire, 65psi, single wheel, tandem axle,tire dot# 3ehhid09/05. We may have had 3000-4000 miles on the tires, i 've never moved the campersince we've had it without checking the tire pressure firstand making sure they were at 65psi cold.july 30, 2008 while at a campground i noticed the belts on the right front camper tire had come apart.the tread was deformed all around the tire, and the sidewall had waves and indentations near the tread. I put the spare on and we took off for our next location.we traveled 1-2 hours and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast.i checked the mirrors and noticed a blowout on the right rear camper tire.that tire was destroyed, with total tread separation, and the steel belts hanging out all over.the flapping tread grabbed propane lines from under the camper stretching and crimping them to the point they need to be replaced.i put the other bad tire back on in an attempt to make it off the turnpike.we made it about ten miles before that tire exploded.same shotgun blast as before, same total tire failure, and more damage to underside of the camper, including the side fender skirting getting bent up.i un-hooked the camper on the turnpike and took the wheels with the shredded tires to buffalo and had new tires put on.we made it to our next location without further incident.august 5, 2008on i.s. 86we heard another shotgun blast, this time it was the front left tire on the camper.this blast caused a de-lamination of the fiberglass siding on the left side of the camper directly above the tire that exploded.i put the spare on again and found a tire dealer in jamestown new york to replace the bad tire, and had them replace the last carlisle that hadn't blown yet to avoid any further damage or possible injury.damage to all 3 tires was the same.
I have had two almost new carlisle tires experience thread separation on the interstate.first one on 7/9/07 and second on 11/10/07.both tires stayed inflated, but plys separated.debris damaged my horse trailer both times and threw debris at vehicles driving behind me, almost causing an accident.

Carlisle tire, st215/75r14 mounted as a factory installed spare on a tennessee brand boat trailer. Tire has never been used, always as a spare. On 8/14/10, observed a "blister" had developed at the tire shoulder (where tread meets sidewall). On 8/21/10, a belt separated from the tire resulting in the tread and belt peeling from thetire (tread separation). There is a 6" wedge of belt sticking straight out of the tire where the tread split, and approx. 12" of tread has detached from the tire. I have never witnessed a tread separation failure like this on a tire that was a dedicated spare and has never been used.for reference: trailer is in a garage nov-mar. It is outdoors and exposed to elements apr-oct. Tire pressure checked monthly, and always before trips.
Purchased four new carlisle rv tireson march 4 2009, size 225/75 r15/e1,one tire exploded inaugust 2009 and the second one exploded on january31 1010 causing some damage to rv.this is a1999 fifth wheel that had goodyear and maxxis tires as the two previous sets with load range d and no problems at all.
I experienced a tire blow out on my 2010 keystone springdale rv. The tires have less then 1000 miles on them. The tire is a carlisle st225/75r15 radial trail. I noticed a "bubble" in the side wall just prior to the blow out. The tire separated and burst. Thankfully i was traveling at a load rare of speed and no accident occurred. I was able to change to my spare. Upon inspection of the remaining three tires, i noticed one more with a "bubble" and the other two with cracks in the sidewalls. I will be having them replaced upon my return home.
I purchased a set of five (including the spare) new carlisle trailer tires in early 2009 from discount tire in columbus, ohio. The tires are carlisle st205/75r-15/d1 radial trail. These were replacement tires for the original travel trailer tires which were a load range c, the radial trail's are load range d. Since that time one tire failed during a trip in june of 2010 and was replaced at a discount tire in ogden, utah. Later in october of 2010 on our most recent trip three of the remaining carlisle tires failed. I replaced four tires at that time in oklahoma city at a discount tire. I have since placed my trailer in storage. Upon inspection of the tires on my trailer i noticed sidewall bulge on two of the new replacement carlisle tires exactly in the same spot as the four tires that failed. This is with less than 30 days in storage.i no longer feel safe towing my trailer with these tires. Six (6) tire failures in this amount of time and on basically brand new tires is outrageous. Fortunately, there have been no personal injuries or equipment damage to this point from the tire failures, but it is just a matter of time before one or both happen. My travel trailer is a 2008 prowler 250 cks. I have filed a claim with carlisle tire and wheel but felt compelled to report this failure as a definite safety issue with a potential for a loss of life.
I was pulling my fifth wheel trailer at about 55 0r 60 mph when i blew one tire,was able to get pullover and stop to change it, and tried to tie all the damage sheet metal back to keep it off the tires, went down road about 60 miles to the next town so that i could buy a new tire so i had a spare. I got about ten miles down the road and blew another tire on the other side of the trailer, changed the tire with spare that i had just bought and tied the sheet metal back so that it would not rub. I went about 60 miles to next town and replaced all four tires. The tire size is 225/75/15 load range d. The dot number is 3e hh id 0704.
In late june of 2015, driving between hailey, idaho and rexburg, idaho all of the tread came off of the passenger rear tire of my 2010 springdale 5th-wheel trailer.the tire never lost air pressure and when checked after the tire was changed the tire still had the 50 lbs.the tires are carlisle radial trail st205/75r15's.the tread loss caused minor damage to the trailer, luckily not causing a crash.once the tire was replaced all of the tries were checked and another tire was found to have crooked tread and a bulge in the center of the tread.after sitting on the trailer as a spare for 2 months, the tire tread began to separate, just sitting there.the tires have between 2000 and 3000 miles on them and the trailer is only used mostly every other weekend for 3 1/2 months.
Purchased a horse trailer, brand new, early 2010.came equipped with 5 carlisle radial trailer tires (1 spare).two of the tires have been lost to ply separation.a third shredded on the road, so i cannot say with certainty that it separated also, but would bet that was the case.carlisle did replace one of the tires for me under warranty in june 2012, although the warranty was out by a few months.on july 22, 2102, the third tire went bad.tires were all properly inflated and my trailer was not overloaded.i still have one of the original installed tires on the trailer that i am sure will fail soon.my trailer is not listed as an option under the vehicle section, so here is the information: 2010 keifer built evolution 793;gvwr 14,000.all failures occurred with approximately 10,500 pounds.tow vehicle was 2002 dodge 2500 diesel truck.i only selected featherlite because it is a horse trailer.i will be very happy to talk with you about this complaint and will be happy to provide any additional information.
I have had a total of 4 carlisle tire blowouts and the recent was a tread separation on 7-21-12. 3 years ago, carlisle replaced my 4 blowouts with 10 ply st225/75/r15. Tires are on 2006 canyon trail 5th wheel. On 7-21-12, i had tread separate on one tire. I am very concerned that my others will go very soon now. All tires have less than 1000 miles on them. All tires are properly inflated, not overloaded, and driven at 55 mph. They are lifted off ground during winter months and always covered when parked. These tires need serious review. Although no one was injured, my trailer did swerve around between lanes which luckily no one was next to me or there would have been injuries or death. These tires are very dangerous and this is my 6th problem with the same make and size tires. Please conduct a prompt review of this and all other carlisle tires. Previously the tires caused $1800 damage to trailer, i have not got an estimate on this latest yet since it just happened but i am sure $ will be the same as it appear about the same damage again. I am fed up with carlisle and sooner or later someone is going to die because of their tires. Please look in to this - something needs to be done very fast before its too late.
Tires are on a new enclosed cargomate, by forest river car trailer.in seven months of use i have had 14 carlisle tire failures. Half were blow-outs and the others the tread separated, which lead to blow-outs. The trailer is under gvwr loaded.tire pressure checked weekly.carlisle replaced one set of six tires with a higher load range, these were the tires that the tread separated a couple still hold air, but don't have any tread at all. I have sent 6 tires to carlisle for inspection. Now i am waiting to see what carlisle tire and wheel is going to do about the 7 tires.the six and one spare.

We bought a new fifthwheel camper in april 2006, it was built march 16, 2006.new, it came with carlisle 225/75r 15 tires load class d, with 2540lbs max load per tire, 65psi, single wheel, tandem axle,tire dot# 3ehhid09/05. We may have had 3000-4000 miles on the tires, i 've never moved the campersince we've had it without checking the tire pressure firstand making sure they were at 65psi cold.july 30, 2008 while at a campground i noticed the belts on the right front camper tire had come apart.the tread was deformed all around the tire, and the sidewall had waves and indentations near the tread. I put the spare on and we took off for our next location.we traveled 1-2 hours and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast.i checked the mirrors and noticed a blowout on the right rear camper tire.that tire was destroyed, with total tread seperation, and the steel belts hanging out all over.the flapping tread grabbed propane lines from under the camper stretching and crimping them to the point they need to be replaced.i put the other bad tire back on in an attempt to make it off the turnpike.we made it about ten miles before that tire exploded.same shotgun blast as before, same total tire failure, and more damage to underside of the camper, including the side fender skirting getting bent up.i un-hooked the camper on the turnpike and took the wheels with the shredded tires to buffalo and had new tires put on.we made it to our next location without further incident.august 5, 2008on i.s. 86we heard another shotgun blast, this time it was the front left tire on the camper.this blast caused a de-lamination of the fiberglass siding on the left side of the camper directly above the tire that exploded.i put the spare on again and found a tire dealer in jamestown new york to replace the bad tire, and had them replace the last carlisle that hadn't blown yet to avoid any further damage or possible injury.damage to all 3 tires was the same.
Ihad two blow outs on the same trip home. My tires our ontrailer. The tire name is carlisle radial trail st/225/75r15.i was on the side of the highway for over three hour's. I need to know if my tires are recalls.
