Some LSR guys get used truck tires from tire stores .

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...
