Trsiler Tiers OR Light Truck?

I thought I would chime in and give our recent tire episodes: '01 30' Tri axle Pace bought new. 15" OEM Goodyears lasted 3 seasons, 2nd set about same. Started losing tires via separating tread about 2010. Did not matter whose Chinese Trailer Tire it was. We were killing at least 1 tire per trip. Same trailer, car, payload since new. In August '16 I finally got smart, went to GY Wrangler HT 225/75 16" Light Truck tire, load range "E".It was tough buying 7 wheels and tires but it solved our problem. We travel 10K plus a year, tires look great, and since have installed same setup on my Trailer Toad and companion trailer we use. That's 15 tires and wheels in last few months, but NO blowouts, etc. Rick Pennington GT/P #2022

Took tips to heart this weekend racing at Mason Dixon.
Pumped the Loadstar tires past 65max to 67psi.
Smooth ride, cruised at 60mph most of the trip.
Down hill touched 70 briefly.
Let the extra speed bleed off at next hill, back to 60.
Traffic zipped by me which was fine by me.

Except for couple incidents where two cars passed simultaneously.
Then tried to take command of the middle lane at same time.
