SCBillandJane, we (as in the Trailmanor members on this forum) are trying hard to be able to come up with a good answer to your question. We are experimenting with different brands, as we speak, to see if we can find better choices than others. We are in the early stages of this experiment, which will take years to fairly judge how well the tires hold up. I do believe that in these 15 inch tires, that everyone in our real world experiment is utilizing ST (Special trailer) tires. This doesn't need to be confused with the 14 inch tires, where we are experimenting with LT (Light truck) tires there.
We have posted in other forums a lot of the tire choices that members have chosen to place on their trailers. In 15 inch tires, it seems that the biggest consensus is to avoid the Carlisle brand if possible. Goodyear Marathons (in 15 inch tires), is subject to debate themselves. Most of these marathons aren't being built by Goodyear currently, so the jury is still out if they have gotten better or worse.
I know that this isn't really what you are looking for in an answer, because it doesn't really recommend what to buy, but more of what not to get.
