I'll tell you guys what I know, I am an automotive tech suspension specialist. I align around 1500 vehicles yearly including around 100 or so boat trailers.
DO NOT buy bias ply tires unless you have no other option.
Buy radials, preferably P or LT rated, that is passenger or light truck.
Get your tires balanced
Rotate side to side on an annual basis
Inflate to max psi
If you must buy ST rated tires (small trailer) do not exceed 65 mph, that is all they are rated for.
Jeff, are you saying you recommend not using trailer tires?
BTW; I think tires have a shelf life of about seven years? This reminds me of a conversation I overheard in a lake bar 20+ years ago… “the first time I forget to trim my motor up going under the bridge, wouldn't you know it (murphy's Law), banged some rocks and now my prop is all chewed up”.
