The Carlisle Sport Trail is a unique tire model designed specifically for specialty trailers. These include boat, cargo, livestock, RV, and other trailer types, ensuring stability and control in demanding conditions. This model combines the looks of a radial tire with the features of a bias one, resulting in higher performance and longevity. Depending on its size, this tire is available in two different tread pattern options, catering to various individual needs.
Features and Benefits of Carlisle Sport Trail
- Optimized rolling resistance
- Smart sipe distribution
- Reinforced sidewalls
- Weather resistant rubber compound
- Deep grooves to prevent slippage
Firstly, both tread options of the Carlisle Sport Trail feature fice ribs that maximize surface contact and increase stability. The three center ribs improve handling accuracy, making sure the trailer follows the towing vehicle with high accuracy and doesn't sway. In addition, the optimized siping, although different in these tread options, creates numerous biting edges that boost grip. Thanks to its siping, the Carlisle Sport Trail can safely grip the road, be it wet or dry, and prevent slippage. Moving on, four large grooves expel water from the footprint to reduce the chances of aquaplaning or skidding on rainy days. This is crucial when towing, as the layer between the tread and the road can lead to accidents.
What's more, one variant of the Carlisle Sport Trail features a closed shoulder aspect with notches while the other comes with an open shoulder. These designs promote regular wear, resulting in a longer service life. Also, the shoulders combat heat buildup during longer trips, keeping the rubber cool and preventing premature wear. Aside from that, a reinforced sidewall construction keeps the rim safe from lateral impacts. Moreover, the sidewalls upgrade the load capacity, allowing a single tire to lift up to 1,650 lbs, depending on size. Besides, the innovative rubber compound keeps the rolling resistance low, which increases fuel efficiency for the towing vehicle. At last, this model is available on the market in sizes with rim diameters ranging between 8" and 16".
