I've always been told to get TRAILER RATED tires. However, I have seen numerous trailers out there with auto tires on them. My Hustler trailer came with automotive tires from the factory.
Goodyear Marathon tires were the choice in years past, but I have heard bad things about them recently.
Best advice I can give is not to skimp on them. Get a good tire and save yourself some agony.

Carlisle Radial Trail HD is a great tire.
Good year endurance have been solid for me, ratted for up to 99 mph. 65 psi

Ditto. Just replace a set that had about 20k miles and still plenty of tread. Only reason I replaced them is because they were 6 years old by the date stamp. Got them through Discount Tire and had them price match Walmart who has them on sale for $61.

Only trailer tire made in America. Cost a little more but changing a blow out at 4 am on a FM road will make you pay more to keep that from happening.

Goodyear Endurance for sure...I'm replacing my factory tires soon. I just don't trust them like the GY.

I am running 14 inch commercial truck tires on all my trailers now. I got weary of poor service running ST trailer tires. These commercial tires are rated for 99 mph and must pass more stringent testing than ST trailer tires. These are Maxxum brand tires. With these commercial tires, they wear out instead of blowing out.

I had Carlisle on my boat for about 3.5 years and wore well. I put the U.S. made Goodyear's on that Discount Tires recommended and they have been good also. The cheaper version of the Marathons that were outsourced to China were a piece of junk.

Dont get a piece of [censored] Carlise. Put a new set of 4 on my boat right before a trip to Rayburn and had a failure. Never again.
I've ran Marathons down to the belts with no issue.
Right now I'm running Cargomax trailer tires. They are 8 ply load range D 205 75 R14. 3 years so far with many miles and not a single issue, and I tow 75mph all day.
The speed ratings are all bull chit. The key is to run them at MAX PSI at all times, and to store them properly (covered from the sun and out of the grass/dirt.)

I have seen way too many people have issues with Carlisle tires on the Ranger FB page
Goodyear Endurance seems to be the one to get

I have had good luck with the Carlisles going on three years now I know the old goodyear marathons were horrible but have heard the endurance tires were good
I’m running. Some max auto off eBay. 8 ply very solid side wall happy so far. They are so cheap I figured If they suck I’ll be out nothing hardly. I have A tire machine so I mounted Them myself they seem very legit I am making u turns on the ramps in Texas and they don’t deflect and distort like my old tires at all. The old ones (Goodyear marathon) would look like they are going to come off the rims.

Endurance for me. Class D tire, exceeds my needs but if you have ever had a blowout, you know what damage it can do.
