the rims I wanted were out of stock they told me a couple weeks at least, weekend warrior style so I decided in the interim to buy some new st tires, I actually had good luck with maxxis and westlake, turns out the new westlake st tires have a very similar design to the maxxis with a nylon cap, got 6 on ebay 225 75 15 10 ply E tires for 491.00 shipped to my door, then the next day my rims showed up........go figure. I'll use these for a year or so and then do the LT conversion, one thing I noticed on the westlake tires is the DOT code showed they were made 2 months ago and the max speed rating is now 75 mph vs 65 mph. The westlakes seem to be a very nice beefy tire much like the maxxis but around 80 a tire vs 130. no tax and free shipping too.

Is my assumption correct that the LT tires which are rated higher than D's lower than E st tires should do the job?
if I subtract the 10% for LT tires it is lower than the D rated st tires but about 1500 lbs over the 13k GVW of the trailer be adequate?
Mich XPS are way overkill, I can get bridgestone durvais 500 for about 160 a tire or a good usa hiway tire for about 125 each,
