New Tires needed

We have a 2007 Utah CP that we are looking to replace the tires on....figure they are 10 years old and should be replaced even though there are absolutely no signs of sidewall cracks or tread wear. Looking for recommendations on brands....too many horror stories of blow outs on new tires. Currently LoadStar K550 ST185/80D13. Max Load is 1660, which barely covers the dry weight.

Best rated tire would be the Maxxis 8008. About the only ST tire that ranks high in these forums. Discount Tire has them.

Westlake Super ST radials. Not much selection in this size and load range in a radial.
I paid about $150 for the pair inc shipping from trailertiresandwheels.com two years ago.

185/80/13 is the biggest 13 inch trailer tire.
I upgraded 2 years ago...
From: 175/80D13 load range C 1,360 lbs at 50 psi
To:::::: 185/80R13 load range D 1,710 lbs at 65 psi

Next common step is 205/75/14, but you may not have room.
Kuhmo makes small 14 inch heavy duty radials.
