I am pulling a 11 k pound 5th wheel. We had a blowout on our Carlile tire and did not now it was flat. Some one drove up beside us and told me. It was a 225 75 15 6 ply rated 2540. Which brand of tire should I buy? Has anyone went to an 8 or 10 ply and has anyone went to a Maxxis brand in an 8 or 10 ply. Please reply to this as we have to buy tires this week. Thanks for all your information.

More ply the better I say, but dude your brutilized that thread title.

 

And you killed your point with your great spelling....

 

Anything "E" rated would be decent, Carlisle is know for blowouts according to just about everyone that has run them over on the RV forum.

 

Towmaster...no experience, my bro just bought his first one.
Duro...On boat trailer for 3 years...no issue
Maxxis...Spare on boat trailer, no issue
Carlisle...On car trailer for 4 years, no issue, but have not used it much.

HTH

That was on purpose.

 

I was just messing with you.

Anyway, back on topic. I don't hear a lot of good things about Carlisle, in fact I had 1 blow out on our 6x12 enclosed trailer (less than 5000 miles). The big thing seems to be heat for trailer tires.

 

I know you where actually it wasen't and I still don't know which word I spelled wrong.

 

Which band triler tire

Brand of trailer tire

I have 'General-AMERI*550 TR' ON MY BULL TRAILER.
THE trailer is a 33' solid steel double floor and I put 159 (100pound) bales of hay at a time (two axle) and never had a problem

and when its loaded - IT'S A LOAD !

like was said earlier...THE MORE PLYS THE BETTER

 

I like Tow Master. Had good review in 4X4 mag. also.

 

they take heavy trailers 4x4 ing ? what chanel is that on

 

I can't help it but every time I see the title to this thread I just bust a gut.

 

Peterson's 4X4 magizine. They just did a review on the tire. Thought it was a tuff one. A few years ago.

 

Thanks for everyone's reply. I purchassed Maxxis10 ply 225 75 15. Paid 390.00 for every thing including high pressure core's. Everyone have a good day.
