Replacement tires
We have a 1995 Mallard model 19n (21ft)by Fleetwood, dual axles.It's time to buy new tires. What brand do you like? I just started the online research and finding a lot of mixed reviews.

Yeah well my truck has.......who cares? OP asked about trailer tires.
I've come to the conclusion in 25 years and as many trailers/tires/situations that it's less about the brand and more about the age, care, pressure and luck than it is the brand.
Have hauled to Alaska on a set of the cheapest OE bias trailer tires that were about 3 years old and that one trip wore most of the tread off. No flats or issues.
Just replaced the China bomb tires on my boat trailer that were 8-9 years old. AFtEr a 200mi round trip, before a 1000 mi round trip. Old tires never gave issue.
On the flip side I've had 4 year old Kumhos literally bubble and explode sitting parked.
Get some new tires, get LR D for the added capacity for a minimal upcharge and tow happy.
