Best 15 inch trailer tires currently are?

If you stay with 15", the Maxxis load range E at 80 psi seems to be the best, but as someone once said, the best 15" is not as good as the worst 16".

Many Jeep vehicles have 16" wheels with 4.5" BP.

Offset would be the problem there, with the Jeep wheels, I think. Dick, you can get other hubs, to go to a 4 3/4, if you can find those. I dont know I didnt look for those though. Mine are 6 lug.

If you have a 3500 lb axle , just find a 8 ply 15" LT tire, like a 215/80 or 85 or so.

Well after many calls and inquiries I'm still not getting a lot of answers on the Maxxis tire availablity in Canada. Apparently Kal-tire here handles these trailer tires but only the 8 ply not a 10 ply. I've seen them advertised on some sites as made in Canada but the Canadian source referred to them as made by Cheng-Shin Tire of China. Go figure. They are also sold by Discount Tire in the USA and they offer a 3 year free replacement deal for an additional $16.00 each with free shipping in the continental US. Has anyone bought from them and used this deal?
