Hi Teresa,

From what I've heard, the Carlisle tires have had a significant number of blowouts. We had one ourselves with a new-looking Carlisle tire. The TrailManor factory changed the standard tires on their trailers from Carlisles to Goodyear Marathons sometime in 1999. Since your 3023 probably takes a 15" tire, you can go to a heavier, 6-ply Marathon tire. This should give you added protection from a blowout than the 4-ply Carlisles that are currently on your trailer.

Modify the square-cornered wheel wells of your trailer to rounded ones. This will eliminate or minimize the damage to your trailer's interior that might occur when you do have a blowout.
