Upgrading from a ST225/75-15 D with 5200 lb axles 6 lug hubs to a 16" LT E is the best upgrade for a trailer for 40k-60k miles and 7-8 years of trouble free service.
I've done this upgrade on every rv and non rv trailer with 4xxx lb/5200 lb axles I've owned.
I'm not a big fan of expensive wheels on a trailer. I use modular white or silver steel wheels from mostly my equipment trailer mfg down the road from me. I've bought many trailer wheels from southwestwheels.com in years past. Prices run around 50 bucks for a 16" x 6 lug 3045 lb rated wheel.
