The Carlisle radial HD has come on in the last few years and proven to be reliable. I switched to them 3 years ago with no problems since. Before that I used Maxxis exclusively but my experience is they have slipped some after the last set I had. May have just been a fluke. In any case I buy one size heavier for some extra capacity.

So what do you use in place of those 14"&15" ST tires? And I'm not talking about back in 1991. I mean now, today, pertinent to the original question?
Love the ridiculousness and the "uphill both ways to school, barefoot, in a snow storm" diatribes.

Funny how the truck tires survive the same conditions, maybe the tires are better? ๐

Maybe because ST tires are historically junk that degrade too quickly, and have a tendency to explode on the highway causing thousands of dollars of damage to the trailer on a regular basis?
Take a look the next time you are a campground. It is a common occurrence to see trailers with damage around the wheel wells from tread separation.
Hardly a problem that doesn't exist.......:R
RV forum nonsense.
It always amazes me that we could run ST trailers for years on a fleet of over a dozen trailers in a business setting, and not have a problem that we could not attribute to road hazard or operator abuse.
Campgrounds are full of trailers with ripped up wheel wells and skirts lol.

What you do not take into account is the fact that the number of people towing, either an RV or any other trailer, that actually post on forums is a very low percentage of the overall towing public. Way less than 1/100 of 1%. Out of those that do in RV forums, you have a high percentage of people who never towed in their life. They buy a travel trailer or 5er, and the first thing they do is overload it. Then they proceed to clip curbs and drive off onto debris filled shoulders along with driving the same as when they're not towing,such as driving at high speed.
We racked up hundreds of thousands of miles with box and flat equipment trailers in a concrete business for years, being driven by guys whose idea of taking care of equipment was how fast they could get back to the shop at the end of the day. We never had a recurring constant issues with ST tires on those trailers no matter what brand they were.
