Trailer tire recommendations

Our 8'x20' Ainsley's Angels trailer tires are aging out.  Great tread but over 7yrs old.  Need to get 5 new tires. Currently it has Good Ride ST 205x75-15 load range C.  I plan on going up to at least a D. Not much weight since the running chairs are not that heavy, may be around 5k lbs trailer weight loaded.  What's a good brand?

Any 10 ply would work well.

I've got about 12k miles over 2.5 years on a set of Rainier ST brand tires. I haul a car trailer behind our RV. It's double axle, 10k, 18' and either gets loaded with a 4600lb vehicle or 5700lb vehicle. The trailer is 2200lb unloaded.

 

I was skeptical of the Rainiers but they've held up. We take care of them, rotate front to back, and check them often on trips. I'm guessing I'll get another 4k out of them and have been eyeballing what I might buy to replace them. I've read that trailer tires generally last 10-20k miles depending on use, so I'll be happy if I land in the middle of that.

 

I'd probably buy Rainier tires again. A couple local outfits sell them. I thought they were no-name, but they're actually sold on a lot of different trailers from the factory, and they are sold aftermarket too.

 

The other options I looked at... Carlisle, that's a tried/true name in trailer tires. Goodyear is also making a trailer tire now.
