My independent tire dealer (OK Tire) told me Carlisle has made big changes and are no longer the "worst". They are made in USA. OTOH, Goodyear Marathons are now made in China as are almost every other trailer tire. I've had problems with the Chinese rubber "dry rotting" prematurely.

X2... My tire guy ( who is a racer....Kendall Barnes ) indicated the Carlisle Load Range E tire is getting good reports...sure cheaper than going to 16's. He replaced my 2 year old Goodyear Marathon Load Range D that disentigrated at 70 MPH.

Wheels of mid 80's Lincoln MK 7 are 16 inch forged Al. They are 5 lug pattern. I put them on my trailer with load range G tires. Tire problems went away. These wheels are cheap at wrecking yards.
