If you're still looking, check Overtons. They have some nice wheel/tire packages priced well. Plus they have a 25% coupon. If I hadn't just mounted up my Carlisles, I probably would have gone this route. Especially since I stepped up my wheels for the D load tires. They offer alloys with Endurance D load tires for 160ish, before 25%. Plus you save M and B.

I am going through this now, but on a much larger scale. The trailer has ST 215/75 17.5 LR H Westlakes on it now. Each is rated for 4805 at 123psi. The problem is the speed rating of 62mph. We tow a very large GN trailer and usually run the speed limit of 70 or just under, and hate running over the limit for the tires. The mfg has told me the being only a few mph over is not an issue since the tires are rated for well over the requirements of my trailers axles, but I am looking to upgrade to a 75mph rated tire.

I already did one, as we had a road hazard related issue last fall. The one I replaced it with was a Roadmaster RM170 of the same size, but its rated at 75mph. Will probably do the rest 1 at a time as $$ permit at 220 a tire. Westlake did send me a free replacement under the Lionshead RH warranty so now I have another brand new one to keep as a spare.

Do any of you who have replaced tires get them balanced? I am getting some good year endurance (4 of them) on Friday to replace the cracked side wall junk that came on the trailer. I have asked if they can balance them over the phone and he said no one balances trailer tires! I am not sure if they will have the proper adapter to balance them properly, as it is a bit different that a truck wheel and tire.
anyone doing this?

Yes, balance them! Mavis is installing my new Goodyear’s for $10 a tire including balance. NO BRAINER!
