From what I can tell now, there is nothing wrong with the Carlisle RH or HD tire. Certainly years ago before the RH Carlisle came out, your thoughts seemed to be correct.
But over the last 5 years or so, since the Carlisle Radial Trail RH have been put on trailers, there haven't been any stories of them being junk.
I currently have Maxxis on my trailer. But if I had to replace them tomorrow, I wouldn't concerned one iota of putting on the Radial Trail RH or brand new HD version Carlisle.

Were I you, and I just bought 5 of them. I would go ahead and get MAXXIS. Most including me believe MAXXIS to be the best. Even my tire guy, that don't care what brand he sells you. Told me that MAXXIS are the best, and to stay away from Carlisle.
As for your current cracked tires. I wouldn't leave the yard with them.
Trust me when I say. Changing TT tires on the side of the road is no fun at all, and not anything you want to do.
