Last year I bought some Carlisle radial trail HD in the 205/75r14 LRD for $50 each at Wal-Mart.
went up from a LRC to the LRD and Got an 81mph speed rating. Pretty tough deal to beat. I got to look at them before they installed them and they felt very well built. Much better tire than the ones I replaced.
i have these on my trailer and like them so far. I was concerned about them when I first purchased them due to the same Carlisle concerns but they are holding up well with 5k on them so far.
I think between the Carlisle and Goodyear you really cannot go wrong. I put the Goodyear on my trailer last month and so far I've been impressed, very little sidewall flex unlike my china bombs that came with it. I got a great deal on the Goodyear so I went that route.
I've been a fan of the Maxxis 8008 for a while now.
I'm trying to be selective on raving about them as I don't want them to be in short supply or raise the prices once people figure out the higher load ranges and higher speed ratings on them.
Love 'em on the TT. Way better load rating and 100mph speed rated to boot. I-10 in Texas is 75 all day long with them on. Barely get warm.

Griz
LOL.... Maybe I should delete my previous post and talk about how bad they are!
I have the good year edurance tires on my 5th wheel. Several thousand miles and running good. The only issue is the load capacity is a bit lower than the china bombs. So get your trailer on the scales so you buy the right tire.
Ok. Ordered my Carlisle HD’s this morning, 225/75/15 LR “E”. $67 ea. on Amazon. That’s with and only for prime members. Best price I found for non members was $81.
So the HD`s in 205/75/14 are rated to 2040 Lbs at 65 psi. Dry weight of the trailer is 4740 plus battery , propane power tongue jack and fresh water. i have pots and pans , dishes and a 20 " flat screen tv . usually filled the water when i get to the campground but don`t drain it till get back . food we usually buy after setting up and So i`m thinking the HDs would take care of it fine. where i keep the trailer now it is 40 miles each way to the nearest CAT scale but i need to drive 100 miles plus to get to where it is stored. i know i need to weigh it but the safety inspection has to come first.
the LRD in that size has you covered up to about 8000 GVW.
I would bet with that size tire your GVWR is 7,000 or less. Anything above that , and everything else is overloaded, regardless of what the tires are rated.
that said, I find comfort in knowing my tires aren't overloaded.
GVW is listed at 7545. as i said i really travel lite. outside of what i listed before only bedding and clothing would be added to the setup. Here is a picture at a campsite
My current trailer, a Jay Flight 23RB, which I bought new in late June of 2017, came OEM with the Goodyear Endurance. They are ST205/75R15 LRD. Haven't had them long enough to get a good feel of them yet, but I have put over 6.5k miles on the so far, and so far they are doing well.
Ironically, my last trailer, a Skyline Koala 21CS, had replacement Maxxis 8008 ST205/75R14 LRC tires. And those Maxxis tires are the only ones that ever failed me. Had the steel belts break while on a trip. Fortunately, I noticed them when I stopped to use the facilities on the trailer, thus averting a blow out at highway speeds.
