If it's a 15" tire it will probably blow out at some point......and they are all made in China....

I had Carlisles and they were coming apart within 2 years. Blew one and treads were seperating on one or two others.

Replaced them all with Towmasters....sold that trailer...

Had Titans heaviest 15" tire and blew one of those out on the trailer I have now....

I have Goodyear Marathons on there now and expect one to blow out....they are also made in China.....and D rated 15"s

Most of my racing has been done carrying a dragster so my trailer is not carrying a lot of weight.

I do air my tires up higher then the spec on the sidewall as that was what Goodyear advised for speeds over 65....I put 67-68lbs in my D rated tires cold.....

I generally do not go over 65-70 towing......

The only solution is 16" rims and use LT tires....My friend has them on his trailer and has had zero issues doing lots of traveling......
