Pulled the trigger and purchased 4 Hartland, all-steel, 235/85/16, G-rated tires from Discount Tire yesterday. The out-the-door mounted/balanced negotiated price (low!), the "N" (87 MPH) speed rating, very recent DOT code, and the convenience/benefits of purchasing from Discount Tire, all swayed me to go with the Hartlands.
Spent yesterday jacking up one axle at a time, installing two tires at a time. Wow, hard not to notice the difference in weight between an E-rated and G-rated tire (more than 20 lbs.).
Anyhow, brand-war debates aside, I don't think you can go wrong using any G-rated "all-steel" trailer tire. Regardless of manufacturer, IMO they all reduce your chance of a tire failure vs. using any E-rated trailer tire.
