I DROVE FROM MARYLAND TO NORTH CAROLINA USING MY FLATBED TRAILER WHICH HAS CARLISLE ST205/75015 SURE TRAIL ST TIRES. THE TREAD ON ALL FOUR TIRES WORE OFF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF EACH TIRE. I DROVE MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER SEEN WEAR ON A TIRE OF THIS TYPE. I CALL CARLISLE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AND THEY EXPLAINED NO. I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES FOR MY TRAILER. I PURCHASED THIS TRAILER MANY YEARS AGO BUT NEVER DROVE IT LONG DISTANCE. THIS TRAILER MAKE IS TOP BRAND AND IT WAS NOT A SELECTION ON THE LAST PAGE OF THIS COMPLAINT FORM. *TR

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
