This is a focused slice of the brand, with options drawn from trail, farm and utility models so you can match a 28-inch fitment to the machine you actually run.

Because Carlisle is a specialty tire maker, the 28-inch figure refers to the assembled outer diameter of the tire rather than a passenger-car wheel size. That distinction matters when you are spec'ing a side-by-side, trailer axle or compact tractor, where overall height drives clearance and ground speed. You can always step up or down a size by comparing this page against the 27" Carlisle wheels and 29" Carlisle wheels pages.
Why diameter matters on a specialty Carlisle
On ATV and UTV builds, jumping into the 28-inch range is a common upgrade for added clearance and a more aggressive stance, while on farm and trailer equipment the diameter sets rolling circumference and load behavior. Carlisle (built by Carlstar) develops these tires application-by-application — radial trail designs aimed at ride quality, deep-lug farm patterns for soil traction, and ribbed utility treads for steering axles — so the right choice depends on the platform, not just the look.
Which 28-inch Carlisle models & finishes
Several families reach into the 28-inch range. The Versa Trail ATR is a radial all-terrain ATV/UTV option, while the All Trail and Trail Wolf cover knobbier trail duty. On the trailer side the Radial Trail HD and Radial Trail RH2 land here, and farm/utility work is served by the Farm Specialist F-2, Farm Specialist I-1, Premium Wide Trac and Trac Chief. Where a styled wheel finish applies, the colors offered are Cream and White; explore the broader range on the full Carlisle lineup.
Fitment coverage
The bolt patterns represented across these Carlisle assemblies are 4x4.00, 5x4.50, 6x6.00 and 8x8.00 — small-bolt-circle patterns typical of golf, ATV, utility and light trailer hubs rather than full-size automotive applications. Pair those with the diameter you need and confirm against your hub before ordering. If your build calls for a different overall height, the 24" Carlisle wheels, 25" Carlisle wheels and 26" Carlisle wheels pages sit just below this range, and the 30" Carlisle wheels page sits above it.
How to choose
Start with the machine and its job: trail riding leans toward radial all-terrain or aggressive lug designs, trailer towing toward the Radial Trail families, and tractor/utility work toward the Farm Specialist patterns. Match the bolt pattern to your hub, then settle the diameter for clearance and ride height. A widely used reference is the Carlisle Versa Trail ATR 28X10.00R14 for UTV builds; trailer shoppers can compare the Carlisle Radial Trail HD 235/85R16, while ATV riders often look at the Carlisle AT489 II 26X10-14 and the Carlisle All Trail 25X10.00-12/4 before stepping up in size. Every order ships free, and financing is available through Affirm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does "28 inch" mean the wheel or the tire?
For these Carlisle specialty products the 28-inch figure refers to the overall assembled tire diameter, not a passenger-car wheel diameter. It's the dimension that determines clearance and rolling height on ATVs, UTVs, trailers and compact farm equipment.
What bolt patterns are available in this size?
The patterns represented across these Carlisle assemblies are 4x4.00, 5x4.50, 6x6.00 and 8x8.00 — small-bolt-circle fitments common to ATV, utility, golf and light trailer hubs. Confirm your hub's pattern before ordering.
Which 28-inch Carlisle is right for a UTV versus a trailer?
UTV and ATV riders typically choose radial all-terrain or lugged trail models such as the Versa Trail ATR, All Trail or Trail Wolf, while trailer owners gravitate to the Radial Trail HD and Radial Trail RH2. Farm and utility users look to the Farm Specialist and Trac Chief families.
