I just upgraded to 15" wheels earlier this month and bought Maxxis 8008 225 75R15's locally (Tire Pro's) for $138/tire (price includes mounting, metal stems, balancing and tax/disposal fees).

Also had to buy rims and modify my spare tire carrier (which was already too tight on the original 14" rims).

I had them check the DOT dates with their distributer and told them I did not want anything more than 4 months old...the tires they installed were about 3 months old.

Considering most recommend replacing trailer tires every 3-4 years (based on tire age, not install date...since the tires start rotting the day they are created regardless of use), if buying "new" trailer tires with a 15 month old DOT date I would expect a BIG discount (if I considered them at all).
