Go to Tire Rack (not just their web site)---- call them and talk directly to
one of their experts, I've always had good experiences with them

Subject: [Land-speed] Tires for my Trailer
Well, since the day I acquired my trailer, it has had Maxxis tires on
it. Every year to and fro the salt I have had to replace at least one
tire due to tread separation and the shoulder of the tire. last time up
it was two tires. I am unhappy with Maxxis. I am unhappy with trailer
tires period. I am looking for the wisdom of the list to help me find
something better. I have 225 75R15 Load Range D tires on the trailer
now. I want to move up to a load range E tire and one that is used on
light trucks (ok, pickups, lol). I want a speed rated tire as well as
the LR E capability. I have been known to tow a few mph over teh trailer
tire maker's recommendation (65 mph in the Maxxis case). I have looked
on Tire rack, Discount Tire, and just about everybody else who sells
tires. So, is there anybody out there who is running a LT tire Load
Range E with at least a speed rating of Q, that fits a 15 inch wheel?
Or at worst a 16 inch wheel but under 30 inches in diameter? Or 30 plus
inches but with a lower aspect ratio, i.e. maybe a 70 or 65
designation? I really want better tires than the run of the mill
trailer tires.
Any help out there? What are all of you running and experience? Lemme
know...
