Eric has a point - this is an unusually low weight glider/trailer
combination, and thus warrants a different approach.

For the more typical glider trailer with 15m glider, though, I stick
by my suggestion to use ST radials, as they have sidewalls
specifically designed with trailers in mind. Their sidewalls are
stiffer than a passenger (P) or light truck (LT) tire,

According to this page on the Subaru.com website about trailer tires,
the ST is in between the passenger (P) or light truck (LT) tire in
sidewall stiffness.

They also mention ST tires better withstand storage and deterioration
from the elements,including sunlight and ozone, due to the rubber
formulations.
