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...

A 7000 lb trailer equate to 1750 lb per tire requirement.
A ST225/75-15 C = 2150 lbs capacity or 8600 lbs gross. A good match especially if the trailer sits a lot and makes short local trips but as any ST your limited to 65 mph.
A ST225/75-15 D = 2540 lbs per tire or 10160 lbs gross. Not a good match for a 7k trailer.
I am also an LT tire fan on ALL my trailers but curious on your above statement.
Why would the tire with the higher load rating not be suitable? Seems to me that it would just be that much more insurance. :@
