I SUSTAINED A COMPLETE BLOWOUT ON A LEFT REAR TIRE OF MY 2003 STARCRAFT ARUBA TRAVEL TRAILER THAT LEFT ME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO I-20 TRAFFIC CHANGING A TIRE. I PROCEEDED TO THE NEXT TOWN AND HAD TD TIRES IN VICKSBURG MS EXAMINE ALL CARLISLE 205/75-14 TIRES ON THE GROUND AND FOUND THE 3 OTHER TIRES WITH SEPARATION AND UNUSUAL WEAR PATTERNS. I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE 4 TIRES FROM THE TIRE COMPANY COSTING $384.00 TO PROCEED HOME 350 MILES TO DALLAS. THE TIRES HAD APPROXIMATELY 5,000 TO 6,000 MILES ON THEM. CARLISLE ASKED ME TO SHIP TIRES TO THEM FED EX AND THEY OFFERED ME 153.00 FOR ALL 4 TIRES. THIS IS AN INSULT AFTER SO MUCH TROUBLE AND DANGER. MANY DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT CARLISLE TIRES. *NM

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
