SINCE PURCHASING MY NEW HOMESTEADER STALLION 3-HORSE TRAILER IN SEPTEMBER 2004, ALL FIVE OF THE ORIGINAL CARLISLE 235/R16 TIRES HAVE BLOWN WITH THE TREAD SEPARATING (PHOTOS HAVE BEEN TAKEN). THE RESULT HAS BEEN DAMAGE TO OUR TRAILER WITH FENDERS BEING BLOWN OFF AND/OR DAMAGED, AND THE SIDING OF OUR TRAILER DAMAGED. THE LAST TWO TIRES BLEW WITHIN TWO DAYS OF EACH OTHER. THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE LAST INCIDENT. IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME THE TIRE BLEW AS WE WERE USUALLY ON A FREEWAY HAULING HORSES. *JB
