I went with the Goodyear's. They seem to do well and the Goodyear dealer cut a deal so be sure to ask. Radials I think are the way to go.

Carlisle 8 ply.jpg I had the original Goodyear Marathons on the trailer since 2008, drove 1.5 hours to the marina seasonally in June and returned in October so the tread was like new. This winter the valves gave out and the deflated tires were showing cracks on the sidewalls so I went with the Carlisle 8 ply radial, here in Quebec Canada 205 75R 14 $107 each.
