Safety Meeting!! Need opinions.

[Backlash]

There are plenty of tire shops that will patch a tire if the puncture is in the tread area of the tire. That's never been a problem. The issue is where YOUR puncture is located. And no, some of us dont drive on blown out tires. Some of us are perfectly capable of changing a tire on the side of a road.

These are the Radial Trail HD, different tire than before. I had a set of these and had no problems with them.

With the reputation Carsile had (well deserved, ask me how I know) they couldn't Still be in business building the same POS tires. They Have to be better theses days!

But with that being said, there is no way I would buy them. Fuck them for ripping up my trailer.

If you put a tube in it, why even patch the tiny hole?

Agree. Can you get one somewhere?? I wasn't sure anyone even makes tire tubes anymore?

I will see if I can find one.

I agree. However I have watched the areas that tires shops are willing to patch shrink over the years to a 2”-3” section down the middle of the tread. The reason they don’t patch them is because of the liability... and wanting to sell you a tire(s). Not because tire construction has degraded.

What did you pay for this kickass tire?

I’m not super worried. These seem to have good reviews and I am on it about checking tire pressures. I had a set of these before, and they were good. I’m also not loading these up to the limit either.

They were $74. My replacement should arrive today.

 

[Backlash]

$74 each or for the pair?

 

[Badchoices03]

RDP logic is, throw them all away and buy (5) of "enter most expensive brand here" tires...

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

$74 each or for the pair?

$74 each. Goodyear Endurance in the same size are $130 each.

I worked in a tire shop back when it was PC to patch a sidewall. The sidewall patches held fine. Maybe the glue held better back then, I dunno. But once they went out they didnt come back, so they held. I would patch it.

 

[WYRD]

As just a Spare, like anybody, sure.
BUT !! you are asking from the of a Safety meeting, OSHA, Appointed safety guy with your company POV............. not only no, Hell NO.
Lord forbid 18 months from now that tire blow, causing God knows what kind of accident. Property damage, lord forbid personally injury or death ?
Lawyer will find the records, who signed off on that tire to be used knowing it was damaged.....
Negligent Homicide. Guilty.
Ask me how I know.......
its a fucking tire. Throw it in the dumpster. AND make a written record of doing so CYA buddy.

Apparently you scored higher on the OSHA exam then you did on the EPA...

An update -

My replacement tire was lost by Fedex. 1 of the 2 America's Tire shops nearby had in stock exactly 1 of my exact tire. No other tire was available within an hours drive. I took this as a sign and went there and purchased their single tire and had them install my 3 good ones.

They burglarized 3 hours of my time after telling me it would be done in an hour and 20 minutes. But anyway the trailer has 4 new tires in perfect condition. When my replacement tire comes, I will have that mounted on my spare.

There’s a reason the Goodyear is more. And it’s worth it.

I think is rather run Carlisle than Goodyear. Pure junk.

I used to run Michelin Light Truck tires on my toy hauler. Couldn't afford em this time around, so I went with Cooper tires. They came with a wear and construction warranty. 80psi tires. So far, so good.

If you like carting around a lighter wallet for no reason, that is your choice

 

[4Waters]

As long as you run that tire hard through Beaumont it should be fine

 

[Bowtiepower00]

I ran the newer Goodyears with no issues. I can’t comment on the older ones- but I see they have horrible reviews.

The marathons were junk. The new endurance are better.

This seems to be the story with these Carlisle Trail HD. The tires I pulled off were 7 year old no name China C rated tires.

These are D load range and rated to 81 MPH.

Back when I worked for Lexus, they used Goodyear for a number of years. Constant blowouts, over and over and over again! Lexus finally stopped running them after a few years.

They are right there with Carlisle in my book.
