Are these the china bombs people post about and should they be replaced?
If so what is a quality replacement?

According to your trailer's specs it came with ST225/75R15 LRE tires. Inflated to 80 psi those tires provide more than 34% in load capacity reserves above vehicle certified 4000# axles. IMO it's a waste of time & money to change them-out unless they have been misused or damaged in some way.
Before the implementation of the RVIA load capacity recommendation for RV trailer tires there was nothing to prevent the RV trailer manufacturer's from providing OEM tires with zero, to very little, load capacity reserves. Many of those OEM tires got very bad early failure reputations because of that. Some of those names are Goodyear, Towmax, Trailer, King and Castle Rock, just to name a few. And the term, "China Bomb" was born.
