Time for Tires
Well, my tires are four years old now with very few miles on them. Time for new ones due to age. They are ST225/75R/15 D load range. I know certain brands are better than others so here we go asking w...

Also, would you go to an "E" load range realizing that we have plenty of heat down here and don't want to add more heat with more plys.

Wise thinking. Especially when when using a 80 psi E tire at 65 psi D tire pressures which isn't a good idea on a trailer.
I see the new Sundance has a GVWR around 9900 lbs amd 7xxx lb dry weight. At full GVWR the tires can have 2400-2500 lbs load on them so the E tire will give a big 20 percent reserve capacity......IF the wheels are 80 psi rated. The advantage of the E tire comes at the higher 80 psi pressures.
I would look at the new Carlisle HD which is a far ahead of previous Carlisle ST tires regardless....... especially the older ones.
Another popular new gen M speed rated ST tire on other forums is a Provider by Taskmaster. http://taskmasterproducts.com/products/provider-st-radial/
Maxxis ?? We've had about 30 members report issues with the ST8008 tires plus their still stuck at 65 mph technology. Maxxis says not all sizes has the nylon cap over the tread which may be causing their issues.
