I am looking for the best trailer tires I can find for hot weatherAny suggestions?

I don't know of any tires built just for hot weather. Why not just get good ST tires and use them? I have used the same tires for hot and cold as they are designed to handle temperature changes. Goodyear Endurance is the best ST tire in my opinion. Not an issue on three trailers and have used them since they came out in 2017. They do not have to be kept at maximum pressure either. The Goodyear site has a load vs inflation chart to go by.

Back when I had my TT I got tried of blowing out the tires that came on the the TT so I replaced them with pickup truck tires & didn't have any problems with them.

Look for tires with a cap ply (or more than one!) Cap plies will be in the tire description on the sidewall - as in Tread: 2 plies Polyester, 2 steel and 2 nylon. The nylon = cap plies. Sometimes it is called polyamide.

I recently installed another set of Provider STs, after running the same, for 8 previous years. Heat is often due to sidewall flex, from lack of support, due to design, or under inflation.Buy the proper ST tire for your load, and run them at max pressure indicated on the sidewall, for coolest running. While you can lower ST tire pressure to match your exact wt, as scaled, to improve the ride, it will increase heat.Jerry

My old types were 2+2+1 and they were the typical using polyester and nylon, the new tires I got are 2+2+2 but labeled all steel belted radial so no Polly or nylon belts. I was reading this has something to do with the side stresses put on a multi axel unit's tires when doing tight turns, but I can seem to find that article again. I had one blow out last summer and when I went to replace it this spring, I found two others that were rounded across the top of the tread so that indicates they were separating. 4 brand new tires this year with hopefully better construction.
