What about Taskmaster Tires...Worse that Carlisle???

[SeaKaye12]

Hi<br /><br />Of all the things that I read about trailer tires...most everyone here seems to agree that Carlisle tires are bad bad bad...I remember one of you showing a picture of one of your Carlisle's that blew out while sitting on the driveway......<br /><br />Well, how about Taskmaster? <br /><br /> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4565219919&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1 <br /><br />I saw this auction...price seems very good...I e-mailed the shop and they waid that the brand of the tires is Taskmaster.<br /><br />Probably not the Lamborghini of tires; eh? What say you?<br /><br />Thanks, Chuck

Don't know about taskmater, but I have Duro brand tires on my trailer. Have not seen anyone else with them, but I've had good luck with them. Anyone else had any experience with Duro? <br /><br />Chuck, you may want to e-mail some of the people who have purchased from that guy and see what kind of luck they have had with them.

Duro seems to be a pretty decent brand, I have a set on my flat bottom trailer now (4.8 x 8), this will be the 6th year with them. No dry rotting or cracks yet and I don't garage the trailer. Carlisle would only last me 2 years at the most.<br /><br />Rob

There sure are a lot of companies that make tires!<br /><br />Here's a list of the DOT codes if anyone is interested. From this you can identify who made a tire by reading the first two digits following the DOT on the sidewall...<br /><br />FYI...<br /><br /> http://www.harriger.com/tires.htm
