On a 179 the general consensus is a load range D ST tire (ST225/75R 15 or similar). "ST" is for trailers. Goodyear and Carlisle are popular brands.

Carlisle Trail HDs (D-load-rated) have been great on our 179.

We paid $135 + tax for our Carlisles, D range, ST 205/75 14 tires on Amazon.  Now they cost $150 + tax.  Not a bad value for the money.  Are the Goodyear equivalent size/range really worth that much more money?  Apart from opinions, are there any actual facts demonstrating superior construction and materials?  

I would pay more for union labor to manufacture the tire, but does that labor add up to $150 more per set?  Just curious.

I purchased the ST 225/75R15 E load rating. Priced with 3 tire shops and all were within 4 dollars. Did not have time to order online. FYI

On Amazon the price was $100.93 and $119.95, respectively for Carlisle and Goodyear.  But it takes a little bit to get them; maybe a week so, so the speed of service is certainly part of the value.  I paid about $15 each for mounting and balancing.  

https://www.amazon.com/Carlisle-6H04621-Radial-Trail-Trailer/dp/B01GMTTNU0/ref=sr_1_7?crid=304QN6NAEA37D&keywords=st+225%2F75r15+e+trailer+tires&qid=1562021712&s=gateway&sprefix=ST+225%2F75R15+E%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-7

Both are good quality tires.  I run Goodyear AT's on my TV.

I just bought 2 Carlisle radial trail  St 225 75 R15 HD  LR E's for $210.00, mounted and put on the camper, as well as leaving the crap tires that were on it there. I really don't see the need to spend an extra $100.00 to buy what I believe is the number 2 selling tire on the market. I would get them at the same price or very close just to buy american.
