Just a followup on the tire/wheel situation. I returned the original wheels with the 1820 lb 15x5 wheels and Had a local tire dealer order 205/75R15 LRDs with 15x6 wheels and high pressure stems.
The new wheels have the DOT marking "CT&W" which translates to Carlisle Tire and Wheel and is an 8 spoke trailer wheel. The catalog number for a 15x6 is 1521138564 and is rated at 2150 lbs, the same as the tire. Carlysle wheels are made in the USA.
I am concerned that others may have uprated their tires to 15s for the additional load and have wheels that do not meet the same rating. I have been told by another member that they did also.

ps 5x4.5 15x6 aluminum wheels may have the same 2150 lb rating. What I am seeing is that you may need a 6 bolt wheel for a higher rating.
