IN SEPTEMBER OF 2012 WE EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON OUR VINTAGE AIRSTREAM TRAILER. OUR TIRES, HOWEVER, WERE NOT VINTAGE. THEY WERE 25 MONTHS OLD AND HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM. WE WERE GOING 45 MPG AND HAD JUST LEFT HOME; ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMP WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES. WE PUT THESE TIRES ON OUR TRAILER NEW IN AUGUST 2010. SPECIFICALLY, WE PURCHASED THEM AUG 28 2010. THE PAIR OF TIRES IS RATED FOR 4300 LBS. OUR TRAILER WEIGHTS ABOUT 3500 FULLY LOADED. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, WE USED OUR TRAILER ABOUT ONE WEEKEND PER MONTH; WITH EXCEPTION ON WINTER MONTHS, WHEN IT SAT UNUSED FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS STRAIGHT.
TRAILER TIRES WERE USED APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES/YEAR. INFLATION KEPT AT MAXIMUM SIDEWALL LISTED, COVERED WHEN NOT IN USE, WEIGHT REMOVED IN THE OFF-SEASON. INSPECTED TIRES IN EARLY AUGUST 2013 AND FOUND RUBBER WAS STARTING TO SPLIT OPEN BETWEEN THE TREADS ON 3 OF 4 TIRES AND TREAD WAS RAISED UP IN SOME AREAS. TIRES ALL PURCHASED AND MOUNTED AT THE SAME TIME AND THE TIRES ARE DATED 18TH WEEK OF 2010. TIRES ARE BEING REPLACED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FAILURE AREA.
I EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON MY 2010 KEYSTONE SPRINGDALE RV. THE TIRES HAVE LESS THEN 1000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE IS A CARLISLE ST225/75R15 RADIAL TRAIL. I NOTICED A "BUBBLE" IN THE SIDE WALL JUST PRIOR TO THE BLOW OUT. THE TIRE SEPARATED AND BURST. THANKFULLY I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOAD RARE OF SPEED AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE TO MY SPARE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE REMAINING THREE TIRES, I NOTICED ONE MORE WITH A "BUBBLE" AND THE OTHER TWO WITH CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALLS. I WILL BE HAVING THEM REPLACED UPON MY RETURN HOME.
WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND, JUST CROSSED MASON-DIXON LINE ON THE INTERSTATE, HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE LEFT FRONT OF MY 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. THE BLOWOUT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE WIRING GOING TO THE SLIDEOUT AND PART OF THE STRUCTURE. THE TIRE APPEARED TO SEPARATE AT THE TREAD AREA WHICH SHOWED ALSO TO APPEAR TO NOT BE SEALED TO THE CARCASS AND WAS NOT CLEAN BETWEEN TREAD AND CARCASS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 06 JULY 2014 ON MY RIGHT REAR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THAT PROVIDED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE INDICATED THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED AT CARCASS AREA AND APPEARED TO NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED. THE TIRES ARE CARLISLE RADIAL TRAIL ULTRA CRT ST205X75X15

Carlisle extra grip: what the numbers tell you
Manufacturer treadwear data for the Extra Grip is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the Extra Grip is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
The Carlisle Extra Grip has been part of Carlisle's catalog since its introduction, and remains a current-production model.
