It seems like everything comes from China.
If I have ANY problems with these, I'll get 5 16" wheels and go for LT 10 ply tires, either BFG or Michelin.

$700 ? Wow, that's a lot of money for ST's. We paid $450 per trailer including 8 other dismounts and mounts plus we balanced the LT's. But the problem you would have is, they DO NOT make an LT in a 8 or 10 ply in the 15" size. That's why we had to go with a 6-ply; but with our axle weight only being 6k lbs we're okay. They're rated for 1985 lbs per tire times 4.
You on the other hand, would not be okay ( if i remember right ). I think your axle weight was more, so a 6-ply wouldn't be the wise choice.
I don't understand why trailer makers put 15" tires on anyway. Jeez, my uncle just bought a 10k ULVW 5er that's running them. How stupid.
Yeah, i think you'd be wise to step up to 16" and go that route.
P.S. Finally got on the rv.net bandwagon over there. I assume you know who i am over there? I've been wanting to stir the pot for you for some time now.
