need new tires tomorrow please help

I am going to order new tires tomorrow for my new to me 37' travel trailer weight sticker says 7200 empty. I have ran the power king towmax on several trailers for a couple years with out problems and they make a E rated tire. But I just want to make sure there is not something else I should look at. When I called the tire place yesterday of course they tried to push the carlisle RH tires but everything I have always read on carlisle is negative. I also have read about using LT tires but don't see anything in my size.
225/75-15
What you suggest and why?
Thanks in advance.

    The Power King Towmax now has a new tire with improved heat resistance called the STR. All the negatives you read about Carlisle Tires ARE BASED ON THE OLD TIRES. They now have a new tire called the Radial Trail RH. It also has improved heat resistance. BOTH HAVE A NEW NYLON CAP LIKE THE MAXXIS TIRES. Also, Westlake has also added a Nylon cap to their ST trailer tires.

    I am currently running 4 Carlisle RH tires on my trailer. I had them installed in Orlando and am now up in Vermont with no issues. I will be heading back out west an additional 2,000 miles.

    I am just giving you options - you decide. You will not get any unbiased views on tires on this forum.....

    Good luck!
  • The most interesting man in the world says; "I don't often buy ST tires, but when I do, I buy Maxxis. Stay safe my friend"
  • I did some reading on the m8008 and I seen were another guy is looking for them and can't find them in his area due to backorder. I really don't want to have to order them online. I would like to buy from tiresplus I have 6 month intrest free with them and they owe me 75.00 off my next purchase anyway.
    I am going to call them in the morning and see if they can get them for me. I have been looking around for the last half hour and not finding anything in a LT tire that has the weight rating. So I guess I am stuck with the st tires. I also am not sure how to find out if my steel wheels have the rating to handle the load range E tire.
  • x3 on maxxis. That's what I did in April. I also upgraded my wheels so that I could go with E rated tires.
