In owners' own words
Verbatim excerpts from complaints filed with NHTSA about Carlisle. Reports are published by NHTSA as filed and are lightly cleaned here only to remove intake codes.
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.
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 WW HORSE TRAILER (N/A) EQUIPPED WITH CARLISLE RADIAL TIRES, SIZE: ST225/75R/15. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE HORSE TRAILER WAS PARKED, THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES BLEW. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
THIS IS A COMPLAINT DUE TO A RECENT LETTER I RECEIVED FROM CARLISLE TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS INC. REGARDING A RECALL ON DEFECTIVE WHEELS ON MY TRAILER (SAFETY RECALL# 13E-059) WHICH I CONTACTED CARLISLE INC. ON MARCH 12TH, 2014 TO START MY CLAIM. ON MARCH 31ST, 2014 I FINALLY RECEIVED CONFIRMATION THAT A WARRANTY ORDER HAD BEEN PLACED (#20436381) AND THE WHEELS WOULD BE SHIPPED OUT AND REPLACED AT NO COST TO MYSELF. AFTER SEVERAL E-MAILS TO CARLISLE INC. AND LAST CORRESPONDENCE WAS ON APRIL 18TH, 2014 I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THESE WHEELS ARE EVER GOING TO BE REPLACED AS STATED BY CARLISLE INC. TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF EVERY PERSON ON THE HIGHWAY???

Carlisle industrial deep traction: what the numbers tell you
Manufacturer treadwear data for the Industrial Deep Traction 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 Industrial Deep Traction 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 Industrial Deep Traction has been part of Carlisle's catalog since its introduction, and remains a current-production model.
For an apples-to-apples comparison against direct rivals, see the comparison pages linked from this tire's brand index.
