tires for cargo trailer?
Not sure where else to ask this...sorry if it's in the wrong place. We're looking at Carlisle and i googled they don't sound like the best...

Hopefully you have 2 axles, thats a lot of weight for 15 inch tires.
I have used carlisles 15" radial rh tires on my 5th for 2 years now and have made several cross country trips with the 5th sitting for many months at a time in between runs. They definitely run much cooler than any other trailer tire I have used.
The big thing to remember is make sure your tire is sized correctly for the intended load. A 15% to 20% load capacity bigger than you need is a wise move. You really dont want to max out a tire. Heat is the number 1 killer. And be sure to use tire covers while you sit. the sun is the number 2 killer.
