Default Trailer tire recommendations

Apologies if this has been already discussed-to-death....



I need to replace the tires on my Cobra trailer, including the spare.



Any glowing recommendations for the best ones out there?



Size 175/70 r14



I'm actually having a little trouble finding that size at the local dealers....and I'm tired of telling them I don't want polyester, non-radial tires!





So....what's your favorite tire that is dependable, smooth riding.....etc??



Thanks,

At the suggestion of YO, via r.a.s. I replaced my tires with Kumho 857 trailer tires. Smallest size 185/14R --the fit fine on my Cobra, replacing the 175/70 R14 with room to spare. They ride smoothly, and track true at any speed I care to drive. They cost more than the Maxxis by a good bit, but worth every penny! They are rated for weight way above my load, so I inflated to 50psi instead of the 65psi max.
