Carlisle tires ??

[Texasmark]

Ok thanks I've heard of a few folks brave enough to change them themselves. Just trying to figure out what is involved from a non tire professional's perspective- I'm assuming someone who did it every day would say it's easy
Thanks again and I hope the tires treat you well! We need more quality products that say MADE IN THE USA!!

I replaced the rear tires on my Fords when I bought them.....13.6 x 28 if I recall correctly and had the dealer install them. I watched the process where the dealer had a trained crew and the right equipment. Didn't take long for me to realize that I made the right decision. Course mounting was included in the price of the tire.

As a post script here, I did find a difference between the OEM Titan tires and the Carlisle replacement tires. That difference is the pitch of the tread lugs. On these 7 X 16 R1 tires, the OEM Titan tires has 23 lugs around the OD. The Carlisle has 17 lugs. I still don't have them mounted, don't know if I'm going to feel this difference when the tractor is rolling along. Biggest place I can imagine it showing is when I have to move it along a paved road. So, only thing I know for sure is that Carlisle didn't use the Titan mold to make these particular tires. The particular tires are Carlisle product #570001. Not to disparage the Carlisle, just pointing out there is a difference.

I've used a lot of Carlisle tires over the years on equipment, had good luck with them other then a pair of garden tractor size ags a number of years ago that seemed to crack quickly after sitting, but that was partly due to how it was stored.

I also use the smaller carlisle trailer tires (5.3x12) on a little trailer and they've held up great, actually need to replace them due to wear.

Never used the larger trailer tires so I can't comment on them.

I had Carlisle tires on my trailer for 12 years. I replaced them with Chinese tires from the local shop. So far in 1 year, 2 have had catastrophic failure. One with no load and going 45 MPH the other with a heavy load at 20 MPH. I replaced both of them with Carlisles with warranties from Discount Tire.

I ended up paying about $20 each to have them mounted with new stems, not nearly what I thought it would cost. The coarser ribs didn't seam to matter, rolls well, seams like a nice smooth ride, now only time will tell,

... I emailed Carlisle, they asked for pics, then sent me four brand new tires. And told me how to read the date codes so when you buy tires, you can see how long they have been sitting.

I don't suppose you'd share that date code information?
