Trailer tires
#5
For what it's worth, I bought these
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-X-Freestar...RWVhho&vxp=mtr)
I bought 2, then 2 more, finally 2 more (all six tires replaced) NO problems. Kept breaking belts before. (Goodyear etc) The shop that mounts my tires said most all trailer tires
are made in China.

Same advice I always give:
1) Step up to 16" wheels if at all possible. Even if you have to raise your fenders a bit, it's worth it. Trailer wheels are cheap. More diameter means less heat.
2) Get LT E-rated truck tires, like discussed on several other threads; on the 16" wheels aforementioned.
3) If you have to stay with 15" trailer tires, go with the biggest size you can fit. Again, more diameter means less heat.
4) I will only buy Maxxis brand trailer tires. They are the best thing on the market. A friend did have a blowout of a sidewall on a brand new Maxxis tire, but we feel like that was an isolated flaw. Maxxis makes the only E-rated 15" trailer tires that I have found:

There are quite a few other threads on this topic.
Definitely do not buy Carlisle.
I can't recommend Goodyear Marathons.
I've bought all of my Maxxis tires on eBay.
Be sure to care for your tires properly; also many other posts on this topic.
