Don't forget the new Carlisle HD's. Two weeks ago I bought four to replace the Rainiers. Size 205/75-15 LR D from a local tire shop. Mounted and balanced with tax for $378. I think the tires were $79 each.
The sidewalls are much stiffer, not bulging and squishy like the Rainiers.

Silverark, I noticed the same as you about the trailer rolling easier and less bounce. I thought it was just wishful thinking but since you mentioned it to, I'm a believer, lol.

I also bought the goodyears. I have yet to get them mounted. I was thinking of bringing them to a Mavis but I'm not sure they will jack the trailer by the frame as recommended. I've seen install videos and all these tire places jack up on the axle which is not recommended. Was thinking maybe a trailer dealer would be better. But who knows? They may do the same thing.
I replaced one side at a time. Tongue jack was on a 6x6 block, lowered it as low as I could. Then jacked on the frame with 2-6x6 blocks and 6 ton bottle jack about as close to the front axle as I could roughly 18". Both wheels off the ground. Removed wheels and lowered just enough to set the axles on jack stands at the"u" bolts not axle. Left the jack supporting some of the weight. Got those tires replaced and installed. Then did the other side.

Talk to them beforehand, that's what I did. You can also ensure they jack on the frame. If my local Mavis hadn't assured me of this I'd have gone to a trailer specialty shop just as you suggest. I'm glad they were able to do it, because they are literally at the end of my block, just 1/4 mile from my house. Darned convenient.

Nicely done!
