Well, I went with the Carlisle LR E. Going to run them at 70-75 lbs.
Heading out on a trip to CO, TX, FL then back to MI in the spring. If I have any problems with them I will be sure to post.
Thanks for everyone's input!
Did you obtain the weight or pressure rating from the rims while they are off? If they are not rated to 80 pounds inflation, then the tire shop created a mis-application of the tires they sold to you! As Jimnlin has pointed out, Carlisle calls for full sidewall inflation to be within your warranty. A reliable and knowledgeable tire shop should be attuned to mis-applications of tires/rims.
You might be OK while in your local area, as you can return to this same tire shop. However out on the road you could have a difficult time getting warranty service.
You would have been much better off biting the bullet and upgrading to 16" rims, as 15" ones on a trailer that size are very problematic!
At any rate, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip, and that the Radial RH work out, as somewhere/someday we need some good ST tire news.
