    Trailer tires - Kakla-gctid375474

    Well I got four years out of my bias ply Nanco tires which were $68ea installed and balanced at the time. I purchased them for the heavier sidewalls for the dual axle turning. I do not recommend these tires. I had them balanced and I still got a bouncing effect from them, uneven wear and actual worn divots in them. I guess for the price with about 20,000 mi's on them I did okay but I just don't trust them for another long haul especially if it's a hot day travelling.

    I have since decided radials are the way to go even with softer side walls. Does anyone have an opinion on Carlysle tires? Right now they are $100ea at Kal Tire but I was also shown a Kakla Radial tire which I liked more than the Carlysle. The Kakla seemed to have a harder rubber composition and were the same price as Carlysle's

    Any suggestions or comments on Carlysle or Kakla tires?

      You can keep the Carlisle tires... Never saw the other brand... I use Goodyear Marathon but recently I see those are also made overseas. I think most if not all trailer tires are made overseas or in Mexico now...

      Still, I am happy with the Marathons... I'm looking for a good sale now. I need 4 myself...

              If you buy Carlysle tires you probably do not deserve what you get, BAD_BAD, I only buy E rated tires now.

              I boat loadstar's last year for my small trailer, FL to Alaksa, does not show wear, E rated 13" tires.

                      I've never had a Korean trailer tire that didn't give me problems. Car tires have been fine, but not trailer.

                          If you are not going with an ST then you need to go LT and as was already said, E rated wil carry the most weight.

                          You wouldn't believe how much this is discussed on the RV forums.:hor-

                              Had Carlisle's on both boat trailer & 5th wheel. Blew two on 5th wheel within a couple of months. Replaced all with marathons. Then blew boat trailer tire. Did not wait for the second. No problem in 4 years.

                              Tires were all in good shape, properly inflated, not over loaded. They just failed without warning. Will never buy a Carlisle.
