It currently has Carlile Radial st225 75 r15 trailer tires on it. Need to replace them with the best trailer tires i can get (no flat on a boat trailer is going to be convieniet timing).

What brand and type should i get?
C Trial,
Here is a link to Maxxis tires E -Range for 128.00. They are very good tires and they get good reviews. They also have D-Range but I am not sure about your weight. My own view is to try too "overtire" have more than what you need. I only need C-Range but I run D-Range. The link is below:
Great. No blowouts or anything since I got them. If I had it to do over though, I would have gotten the heavier duty Goodyear ones and just spent a little extra.
We were bringing our back to MS from Detroit and one of the treads started to separate right near the speedway. We got in and found that all of the tires were beginning to break up. The guys stopped everything they were doing and got us back on the road reasonably.
I knew you weren't going all the way up there. I also know that people all over the country read this forum and thought the info might help someone out.
I don't want to change the direction of this thread, but I have just finished year one with a new boat and trailer, and my Carlisle trailer tires (yes, the ones that get poor reviews here), look pretty good after (approximately) 7,000 miles, including a recent trip from Michigan to Marathon and back. My guess is that I will easily get another 4 or 5,000.

I recently hauled a boat 200 miles from LA to AL. The trailer was a 2006 model with original Goodyear Marathons that had 90% tread. Inflated to 50psi (14" tires) and the trip speed was 65 (until the first blowout).
$127 later I had a new Marathon on one wheel and drove 55 the rest of the way home. Somewhere along the way two big chunks of tread left another tire and I was just lucky that nothing happened.
These tires had a build date of late 2006 and had no cracks in them (no significant dry rot type of cracks).
I'm not sold that Marathons are the best tires you can buy; not if they don't hold up to age or low-speed highway driving. Another trailer made it from CA to AL and the 9 year old Carlisles lasted without a single blowout...so go figure.
