trailer tires

Needing to replace the 225/75R15 tires on my trailer. What does everybody recommend? Tandem axle 18' steel deck car trailer.

Local small tire shop (highly trusted) recommends the Towmax E-rated tires at close to $100/each after mount, balance, and tax. Asked about a "cash and carry" and he only took $5 off per tire. Looks like the same tire online is about $70 each and I could mount them at home, but obviously can't balance them.

When I bought my trailer new it had some cheapo P-rated car trailers on it. Ran it for years hauling a fullsize Blazer on 1-tons before having a blow out. Then bought a set of E-rated (10 ply rated) Carlisle radial trailer tires years ago. The Carlisle, which I thought were supposed to be a good tire, are junk. Had a blow out the second trip out (maybe coincidence, maybe not) and now all are severely out of round to the point you can feel it bouncing in the truck when going down the road.
