Durable tire recommendation

We just bought a used 17ft 3200lb(dry) hybrid trailer. It is single axle and the tires are six years old.

Because of the age and single axle I am looking for recommendations for durable tire options. I know good tires cost money and I believe it is money well spent, I just don't know much about trailer tires.

Any recommendations?

    Single axles seem to be easier on tires, imo, so there's that.

    I personally don't buy into paying a bunch of extra money for "premium" tires. Been running Kenda Karriers on 2 different tandem trailers for several years now with no issue.

    They're all terrible... The GY Marathon got good reviews, then terrible reviews. The GY Endurance same, good reviews, then terrible reviews. Buy three tires from a shop you trust, and just plan to replace them regularly.
