Tire Flaw or Not?

You should have a small 4 digit date code on the tire near the bead area. That tire looks a bit old.

Yep, ozone cracking indicative of an old carcass.

So the tires were manufactured 8 months ago and already look old? What is meant by and old carcass ........ and I'm not referring to me, lol.

Carlisle customer service is awesome!

I sent the pics into them yesterday to start a warranty claim and was expecting a long wait and a hassle but this morning I got a call from them asking for my physical address. There are 2 replacement tires on their way to my house. I am impressed!

That is really good news.
I will put the Carlisle warranty high on my list, when replacing my tractor tires

Now you have two new tires to stick in your garage until these really go bad.

Agreed but one of them has a split in it and may open up (blow up) at any time. Don't really want to chance that.

I'm thinking they discovered they had a bad batch and are approving claims by default. Kind of like an unannounced recall.

Seems very much like that.

I would expect them to mount the tires and replace the balast if they are loaded.
