Here's latest. My wife called Carlisle and they are going to send us 7 new 235/80R16 Radial Trail RH tires. Plus, they have offered to pay for the damage to our trailer. In exchange, we need to send the failed tire back (they pay shipping) and we need to prove our trailer was not over weight. I went to the local CAT scale and our measurements were as follows:
STEER AXLE: 5020
DRIVE AXLE: 6520
TRAILER AXLE: 13660
These numbers are well below the rated 7000lb axles with Carlisle Tires at 3520lbs each.

I'm getting the estimate on the trailer repair tomorrow. I don't expect it to be cheap since it was on the side of the trailer with the fuel station which was damaged. I will really be impressed if they pay for the repair. Should I be skeptical about what is going on???

My wife read an article that stated some batches of Carlisle tires made in 2010 were stamped with the wrong rating (E) rather than (D) which means they are under rated. I looked at the date code and they were made Week 11 Year 2010. Hmmm...

Anyway, has anyone used the new Radial Trail RH version?

thanks for the replies.
