Replacement Tires

Need to replace tires on my 5er, not a Montana yet, but soon. Have sold my current to a relative with the promise I would clean it up, starting with the tires, which have 40K on them and are getting bald.
Looking for any info on following trailer tires, either pro or con:
MAXXIS M008 ST225/75R15, LR= E (10pl/2830lb) @ 130.01
CARLISLE ST225/75R15, LR= E (10pl/2830lb) @ 79.50
GOODYEAR Marathon ST225/75R15, LR= D (8pl,2540lb) @ 81.00
The Goodyear is a little less tire than I'd like to see on the unit but is more readily available and seems to be more reliable than the other 2 from what I've heard, anyone have any remarks?

Regardless of which tire is your ultimate decision the LR should at least be comparable to the OEM tires that came on the trailer. Although the trailer would no longer be in your possession you would not want to own it or sell it with tires that are "a little less" than what should be in place.

DO NOT BUY CARLISLE TIRES! I have had them on a previous unit, and they are junk! Do a search for tires, and you should come up with lots of info. Good luck!

There are a number of threads on the RV forum on this topic. Consensus is do not, under any circumstances, buy Carlisle tires.
