Optional tire sizes offered by vehicle manufacturers disappear once the certification label is installed and verified. When you signed the papers for the trailer the tire size on the certification label became the official size for that trailer. Meaning it's the minimal accepted size and is the benchmark for all subsequent replacements.

The whole tire industry uses vehicle certification labels to verify minimal acceptable replacement tire/wheel sizes. You can verify that by reading any tire manufacturer's/retailer's SOP manual.

I just replace my Trailer Kings last week. I looked hard at the Carlisle, but opted out for couple of reasons. Walmart had an excellent price at $67. However, They got in 11 tires over the couple of weeks I tried to deal with them. The newest manufacture date for any of them was a week over a year old. They also repeated made excuses ranging from they couldn't install them, to they really didn't want to install them. The manager was past non-cooperative. Also, say what you want Carlisles are still made in China.
I opted for the Goodyear Endurance. The base price of the tire was about $55 more per tire. My experience with Goodyear was the opposite of Walmart. They were professional and helpful. Without asking I noticed them under my truck and Rv checking my tire pressure. The manager also suggested that even though the sticker in my truck recommended 70 Psi, he suggested I carry the 80 psi the tire would hold on my truck tire. I wouldn't carry 70 in my trailer tire, why do it in the truck tire. And to top it off, after I ordered the tires, I found Goodyear is having a $100 off promotion this month.
I'll let you know how they wear.
I opted

Most forget that before 2006 many RVs didn’t have a tire certification label. Our 2005 Copper Canyon has a label on a cabinet door near the sink, like most before 2006 had.
Think about it far better location than front drivers side of the trailer, where it fades in about three years.

Hauling these things down our wonderful interstates/highways systems across the country there's enough things to be shaken/rattled/torn up & now tires aren't on that list for me anymore.
I agree, with the roads we deal with around the country I don't believe there is such a thing as overkill!! What one person considers overkill may not be for another. Its called piece of mind!

good price on those sampsons.
I just put the new Goodyear Endurance on my 5er last October. they have like 550/600 miles on them today. They are covered up right now but soon and very soon they will be uncovered. BUT I had run 2 sets of Maxxis during the last 7 years we have owned the trailer. replaced the factory bombs then the second year we owned it.
So I cant way in on too much. other than they were $618.00 out the door with mounting and balancing each while off the trailer. Discount tire here in town. BUT I know the asst. .manager so he supposedly hooked me up.

Another vote for Goodyear Endurance. I just installed them on my 336BHS.

Cabindweller, I'm curious what makes you recommend a tire you just bought, with which you have no experience, to someone needing help with choosing a proper tire. Would it be because it is black, nice and round, and has the Goodyear brand? Yes, I am poking that now well-known stick through the fence, but surely you see where I'm coming from.

So posted a bit back about putting Yokohama YK-HTX LT 235/85-16 E's on our 32" Copper Canyon 293 FWSLS with a dry weight of 9,820# and a GVWR of 12,360#.
Now CWtheMan came back about these were Optional tires on our 5,200# axles, but they do cover the axle weight well, almost including the entire GVWR. They are rated at 3,042# ea. that is a total of 12,168# capacity. Now the tires I run on my truck are also LT's although a slightly larger capacity, but I don't worry too much about brushing a curb, or hitting a bad set of RR tracks, they don't tend to fail. In addition they are rated for that 3,042# at 106 MPH! Most ST tires while having about a 300# per tire capacity advantage are only rated to carry that to 65 mph, there are some rated to as much as 85.
This is why I chose to go with LT tires rather than ST's.

Do you have any video? I'm thinking a trailer doing 106 mph would be....spectacular!

Actually there is a video somewhere of the land speed record for a trailer at about 106 or so.

Found it!!!

It’s based on a tremendous amount of research, specs and the fact that I was just in the same situation as the OP, deciding on which tires to buy for the exact same Cougar model camper. If you don’t like my recommendation, don’t take it and move on to the next post.

Good to see so many testing the Endurance for GY. So far it looks pretty good. It will take 5 years to be certain. Then, still need to watch GY as the Marathons were good when they came out and then..... My Cougar came with LR E tires and switched them to Carlisle LR F. I'd do the same again but now run Sailun LR G on the Montana.
