What was your cold inflation pressure?


The problem was they were Carlisle tires.

Worst. Tires. Ever.




Arrrgh. I have four "Trail America" tires on my new trailer. Probably
made in North Korea by a subsidiary of the Carlisle-Goodyear
Conglomerate. Both of those companies, Carlisle and Goodyear, have had
some serious problems with their trailer tires.



Forgot to mention...soon as I got the trailer up here, I took it over to
a tire store and had the four wheel/tire combos "balanced."
