@OP- Yikes. I just upgraded to Kumho Radial 857's and couldn't be happier. You'd also have to make sure your rims are rated for 65psi, but the trailer pulls SO much better now that the poor tires aren't at 95% capacity all the time. For additional value, they have a speed rating of 99mph (not that I would ever do that, but the headroom is comforting) and significantly more weight carrying capacity than most of us need.
Get yourself a proper alignment, or even look at upgradin the axles. We went from Al-Ko 3500lb units to Dexter 6,000lb with upgraded springs and proper brass greaseable bushings. Going to 15's won't solve anything.
That was my experience as well when I switched from the original ST tires to the Kumho 857. The trailer towed in much more stable manner at highway speed. Once I had the ST tires off the wheels, I could feel they had a very soft and flexy sidewall. I could easily deflect the sidewall of the unmounted tire with my fingers. By comparison, the Kumho felt much stiffer and more substantial. Very happy with how the 857's are working.
