Like many others, I got tired of trailer tires barely rated for the load, and even cheaper quality trailer tires. I wanted to upgrade my existing 15" tires but was some what limited by the 6 x 5.5" rims. The goal was to upgrade to 16" wheels but I found the selection of 6 x 5.5" rims max'ed out @ 3200lbs then I came acrossed these:

They are rated for 3760lbs so you can mount G rated tires on them and NEVER have to worry about blowouts. Better still they only run $43.00 and NO shipping charge. Not much in the way of styling but they are functional. I plan on pairing them with some 235/85-16 tires. At this point I'm not sure if I wil;l go with the cheaper Load Range E or more expensive Load Range G but regardless, I will have a significant safety margin. It's about a $70 pre tire increase to jump up to these G rated tires:

I would be going from 2540lbs per tire to 3750lbs per tire and a total increase of almost 5,000 lbs. A 50% increase over my current rating which will eliminate most any chance of a costly blowout on my 5er as long as they are properly maintained. Yes, I know my axles aren't rated for anything near this weight, but it's the tire shredding and taking out the side of my RV that I'm worried about. Hope this info helps others out.
P.S. Received them 4 days after my online order, less then $250.00 for a set of 5.
