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...
