3rd year in a row, 1st outing if the year something happens.
Last year was the clogged pee hole. Before that was the idle valve or whatever it was.
This year, I was forced to take a right turn a tad too tight. Caught corner of a popup chainlink fence. Dragged that fence a few feet. The base stand with rebar went through the tire. Had to slice the tire. Jack up the trailer and pull out that base stand. Blocked 2 lanes out of 3 for about 15 mins. Pulled into a parking lot on other side of road. Put on spare. It was only at 30 PSI but I have an inflator in my car so no big deal.
These are on their 5th year going on 6. Even though there's a lot of tread left, I planned to replace them in a year or 2. Still went to the lake. Everything else tested good. No catches tho. On drive to the lake and back. I was nervous if I had a flat, I'm screwed with no spare.
On way home though, stopped off at Discount Tires and got a pair of Goodyear Endurance bc that's what everybody says to get. The spare was brand new with sticker on tread. I was cheap and put it back on spare duty again for now
Can't complain about the Carlisle HD. Smooth, durable, wore evenly.
