Carlisle CSL 16 Trailer Tire
Built for hardworking trailers, the Carlisle CSL 16 is a radial ST tire that carries heavy loads with confidence. Its sturdy casing, heat tolerant rubber, and stable ribbed tread help control sway and promote even wear on long hauls. Use it on campers, cargo trailers, and equipment haulers where stability and durability at highway speeds matter. Choose the right size and load range for your axle ratings, mount on approved trailer rims, and enjoy predictable, dependable towing.
Features and Benefits
The Carlisle CSL 16 prioritizes consistent control under load. A reinforced casing limits deformation so the trailer tracks straight and resists sway. Heat resistant compounds help manage temperature during summer runs, and the rib focused tread keeps contact even to extend tread life. Strong shoulders add stability in crosswinds and lane changes, and steel belted radial construction supports durability and modern load ranges for heavier campers and cargo.
Sizes, Load Ranges, and Key Specs
The CSL 16 comes in popular ST sizes like ST225/75R15, ST235/80R16, and ST235/85R16. Depending on size, multiple load ranges are available, often described as 10 ply, 12 ply, or 14 ply, though modern tires use load range letters instead of actual plies. Check your trailer certification label for the required size, load index, and maximum cold pressure, and be sure your wheels are rated for the same psi. When unsure, choose a load range that meets or exceeds your GAWR and inflate to the sidewall's stated cold psi.
Load Range Explained: E, F, and G
Many shoppers still use 10 ply or 14 ply language, but modern tires list load ranges such as E, F, or G. Load range defines the tire's maximum cold pressure and carrying capacity, not the number of plies inside. As a rule of thumb, 10 ply often aligns with Load Range E and 14 ply with Load Range G. Always confirm the exact load index, max load, and cold psi on the sidewall, then compare to your trailer placard and axle ratings.
On‑Road Towing Performance
When matched to the proper load range and inflated to the correct cold psi, the CSL 16 delivers steady tracking and dependable braking on the highway. The casing manages heat during long summer drives, and the continuous rib pattern promotes even contact for a composed feel in lane changes. Expect reduced trailer sway and strong straight line stability when loads stay within GAWR. Balance the assemblies, check pressure before travel, and inspect tread and sidewalls to maintain performance.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing for the Carlisle CSL 16 varies by size and load range, with higher capacity 16 inch fitments typically costing more. Check current price and availability for ST225/75R15, ST235/80R16, or ST235/85R16, and watch for bundle savings on multi tire orders. We stock fresh inventory and ship fast so you can get back on the road quickly. If you need help with load range or pressure, our fitment team can verify your choice against your trailer placard and axle specs.
Customer Reviews and Owner Feedback
Owners who maintain proper inflation and stay within axle ratings often report stable towing, predictable tracking, and even wear from the CSL 16. Many highlight how well it handles heat on long summer trips and how composed it feels at highway speeds. As with any ST tire, results depend on correct load range selection, balance, and routine inspections. Check cold psi before each trip, avoid overload, and re-torque lugs after installation to support long service life.
CSL 16 vs Goodyear Endurance
Both the Carlisle CSL 16 and Goodyear Endurance are radial ST trailer tires built for highway towing. Start by confirming the size and load range you need, the sidewall speed symbol, and your wheel pressure rating. Then compare load index, max cold psi, and current price in your exact size. Either can serve well when matched to the application and maintained correctly.

Do you have a question about CSL 16 ST235/85R16/14 132/127M?
The CSL 16 is offered in common ST trailer fitments such as ST225/75R15, ST235/80R16, and ST235/85R16. Depending on size, it is available in multiple load ranges, often described as 10 ply, 12 ply, or 14 ply equivalents, each with a specific maximum load and cold inflation pressure. Always select a size and load range that meet or exceed your trailer certification label and axle ratings. Match the tire's max cold psi to a compatible wheel rating, and never exceed the lowest limit between the tire, wheel, or trailer.
No. The CSL 16 is an ST, Special Trailer, tire intended only for trailer positions. ST tires are engineered for towed applications and are not designed for driven or steering axles on passenger vehicles. For your truck or SUV, use the OE specified P metric, LT, or other approved fitment listed on the door jamb label. Reserve the CSL 16 for your trailer, mounted on appropriate trailer wheels, with inflation and load managed according to the sidewall and the trailer certification label.
Follow the tire sidewall for maximum cold psi and your trailer placard for required load capacity. For heavy towing, ST tires typically perform best at their stated maximum cold pressure to achieve the published load rating. Check pressures before travel when tires are cool, use metal valve stems where required, and ensure your wheels are rated for the same psi. Re-torque lug nuts after installation, balance the assemblies, and inspect for irregular wear, heat damage, or signs of overloading.
Carlisle branded tires are produced by The Carlstar Group, with manufacturing in the United States and globally depending on the product and production run. The most reliable way to confirm the plant of origin for your tire is to read the DOT code on the sidewall, which identifies the manufacturing facility. Country of origin can vary by size and batch. If origin is important for your application, contact us with your desired size or check the tire's DOT code before purchase.
Speed capability varies by size and specification. Check the sidewall for the speed symbol or stated maximum speed, and follow the lower of the tire's speed rating or the trailer manufacturer's limit. Even with higher speed symbols, heat builds quickly under heavy loads, so maintain proper cold psi and keep speeds conservative. For extended highway travel in high temperatures, plan a load range and pressure setup that comfortably meets your towing weight.
Use the trailer placard and axle ratings to determine the required load capacity, then choose the load range that meets or exceeds that need. While shoppers often say 10 ply, 12 ply, or 14 ply, modern tires use load range letters such as E, F, or G. Compare the tire's load index and max cold psi to your trailer's requirements and wheel ratings. Avoid under specifying, and do not inflate beyond wheel limits. If you are unsure, our team can recommend the correct CSL 16 load range for your size.
