I have a compact tractor and do a good bit of contract bushogging so I am never sure what i am going to run into. I have had Bobcat and Titan front tires in the past. I got a good deal on some Carlile's and I sure am disappointed. I have had flats in years gone by, but always from a piece of wire or a screw or a nail. The Carlile tires Have been on for about a month and already have about a dozen holes in them. Three of them required plugs and the rest were held in check with a good dose of slime.Thorns go straight through them almost every time. The compound is much softer than my previous tires and it shows. I was getting 2 + years on the other sets. The month old Carlile's are showing significant wear already and they have not been on the road 1/2 a mile. Anyone else having problems?

I run the brand on some things. Never had a brand related problem. Course 2 vs 4 ply can make a difference.

Mine are 6 ply. So were all of my others as well.
