If you're staying with 15" tires the best would be 225X75X15" Maxxis tires.Keep them at the max pressure,use a tire dressing on them and keep them covered and protected from the sun.You should get good use out of them.Do a Google search and find the best pricing on them.

Do yourself a big favor, get rid of the 15" tires! 16" tires are sooooo much more reliable. I have used Uniroyal M+S "E" rated tires for many years now and have had zero problems. Keep the air pressure at 70 to 80 psi and cover them when parked and you will come out way ahead of any 15" tires no matter what the brand. Jim

Not to sound like a broke record but 16's will be a lot better if you can go that route! My buddy had a triple axle Pace that was not overloaded and he kept blowing tires ALOT and he didn't pull the trailer much at all and it had me puzzled???? Come to find out he was only running 32 psi in his tires and it was killing the side walls ! I told him to put 60 in them and the blowout's stopped so make sure you have plenty air in them I run 80psi in my 16's and so far have had to put on one set in ten years and I know my trailer is over weight just lucky I guess. But if all the tires are the same age if you have one blow out then the rest will follow just like light bulbs so go ahead and replace them all.
