I'm running Carlises on my TT in a load range E. In my research the problems people used to have with Carlisles were in the C and D rated tires.

The only tires that you do not hear about failing on trailers are the Michelin XPS Ribs and Bridgestone Duravis R250s, and maybe the Firestone Transforce HT.
