Carlisle Sport Trail. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Bias ply construction; Fuel efficient drive; . OVERVIEW: The Carlisle Sport Trail is a highway terrain all season tire manufactured for special trailers, such as boat, utility, horse and other stock and cargo trailers. This model is only meant to be used on trailers. It cannot be mounted on light truck vehicles. This model has some commercial, trailer position sizes available as well.The ribbed tread pattern and the all season compound work together to ensure a safer dry, wet and winter weather performance. The tire is capable of firmly gripping the road surface in all weather. The circumferential grooves effectively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The maintained road contact and tread design boost the all weather traction and ensure a secure driving experience.The tire's internal structure features a bias construction. Tires with such structures have stiffer sidewalls, which decrease the swaying of the trailer, and they are capable of handling heavier loads. They stabilize the trailer during the drive, which provides a safer driving experience. The bias ply construction improves the puncture and damage resistance, guaranteeing long lasting usability. This structure also allows the tire to perform well on rugged terrain, slight off-road circumstances, offering a more versatile use.The Sport Trail is fuel efficient. The bias ply structure's driving stability and the tread design's even distribution of the driving pressure decrease the rolling resistance, which is the force affecting the tire that determines the towing vehicle's energy usage. The decreased rolling resistance reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the towing vehicle, providing a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction.Due to the acquisition by Carlstar Tires, Carlisle tires are now manufactured under the Carlstar banner. For this reason, some Carlisle tires might come with the Carlstar brand name stamped on their sidewalls.Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types.
