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.
hmm I must be missing something. You said the ST225/75-15 C = 2150 lbs capacity or 8600 lbs gross is a good match.
But the higher capacity of a ST225/75-15 D = 2540 lbs per tire or 10160 lbs gross is not a good match?
Did you post them backwards?
FYI Radial RH's come in a 225/75-15 E rating with 2850lbs./tire (x4 = 11400).
