Figure $400 x 5 by the time you are done for Goodyear G-614's. Then you got another grand plus or minus for HD wheels that will take 110 psi, metal valve stems, mounting, balancing...
You really think that level of tires is needed for a 10K lb TT?
Probably not- I am sure you could get by with a solid E rated LT tire just fine. However, no way I would buy a trailer with a 15" tire period! In fact, no way I would buy a new trailer with a 16" ST or cheap Chinese tire- period!
Any trailer I consider will have good tires on it from the factory or I will continue to look. If a company is willing to cut corners on tires then imagine the things they cut corners on that can't be seen with the naked eye.
Tires are too darn important- not the place to save money.
