I"ve owned 8 or 9 trailers, most with 205 or 225/75R15 trailer tires of several brands, including Goodyears, and so far, no tire problems other than normal wear and nail holes. Two of these trailers were pulled daily and were usually overloaded. I always aired them up to max, and checked them often. 15" car or light truck tires are not designed to "scrub" when turning a tandem axle trailer, so they are prone to failure. On my larger trailers, I use 235/85R16, load range "E" at 80 psi, and they last a long time. That would be the best choice on your trailer, but 5 or 6 lug 16" trailer wheels aren"t as common as 8 lug. Stay with radials- they run cooler and pull a lot easier than bias. I had 7.50/16 bias on my 20k gooseneck, and it killed my milage! It pulled terrible hard, and rode real rough. Just my experience- good luck.
