Just picked up a new set of Carlisle RH tires. We'll see.... Discount Tire out here is doing a $100 rebate on a set of 4. |

Which "Discount Tire" do you guys have in your locations? I've got about 6 different places called Discount Tire, all unrelated, and none of them stock the Carlisles. |

I'll post my review next weekend, I'm taking the boat to Crystal Beach on lake Erie, about 200km one way. The tires were great, they ran alot cooler than the bias-ply. We did about 75mph there and back with no issues. I had them balanced, and the difference was immediately noticeable compared to previous unbalanced tires. |

Can't seem to find any decent tire in the 225/75/R15 size. My Gladiators are bulging at the sidewalls, one burst on me already, and I've only had them 2 years. |

Based on the search I just did, I'd say either Maxxis or the new Carlisles. They at least probably won't be any worse than 98% of the trailer tires out there now. Both should be available in that size. |

Would you take the new Carliles over Marathons? |

I'd take a brick with a hole in it over a new Marathon. Check out all the reports of the new ones not even being round. |

Bought 4 a couple years ago and didn't even get 2000 miles out of them - and that's including a 700 mile trip. 2 had belts separate, 1 just disintegrated, and the 4th did this:  Ironic this is that I was on the way to buy a new trailer when that happened. New trailer has Loadstar and they've been great. |

Do most of you folks use tire covers when the trailer/boat is stored? I never have previously, but just picked up a set to try to protect my new tires from UV, etc when at rest. That, and I plan to be extra diligent about ensuring that I am running at 50 psi every time. |

I do not use them in the winter as the boat is indoors. But I do put jack stands under the trailer and get the tires off the ground. I run my tires at the full max of 65 pounds. |

Ended up getting another E. Maybe should have got "D's" as recommended in an earlier thread. |

No joke. Goodyear dealer where I got the Gladiators took care of me. New Marathon today is $150 installed, I paid $75/each for the Gladiators 2 years ago. Charged me half price to replace them with Marathons....went with D's. Even switched out my spare Carslile that I had, with the same cracking sidewalls. These will be covered while in storage...hopefully that helps a bit. |
