Thanks guys, good info. Buddy of mine just put 4 Carlisle radial ST's o his travel trailer. $325. They had to order them, but only took a day. Also heard to make sure they are "fresh". They can stay on the shelf for a year or two.
Guess the next question is radial or not. What psi do you run the radials at, I'm guessing the bias is at 50psi

I have a guy on craigslist I found that sells them CHEAP, about half of what walmart sells them for. Yes they're china made, but so are the wally world ones, and about 80% of the trailer tires out there now. As to bias VS radials, if given a choice, I'll go bias ply. The load ratings are the same for both, but as I had somebody tell me before, bias tires let go and you get some scuffing, marks, and other stuff, but when a radial goes you lose fenders and can get holes knocked in your hull.

I run most of them at 50, radial or bias. Some trailers that are pretty light weight I'll run at a lower psi so they won't beat you to death.

I run them to the recommended inflation psig as found on the side of the tire. (usually in the 45-55 psig range).

LR-C= 50psi, LR-D=65psi, LR-E=80psi. I do not recommend the use of P series tires on any trailer as they are only 2 ply in the side walls. ST & LT series tires are 4 ply side walls. Check the date codes on the side wall of each tire, if they are 6-8 years old or more get rid of them. Google tire date codes for the info on decoding the date code. 3500 lb. trailer should be running at least a load range C. 5000-7000 lb. trailer should be running at least load range D, 7000 - 10,000 lb. trailer should be on at least load range E.
