RE: Travel Trailer Tires
Go with LT tires.
16" rims good option.
15" rims show me a LRd let alone LRE 15" LT tire
they are very rare, not really a viable option.
Do what I did. Do whatever it takes to get 16" rims. Then you have a HUGH number of quality tires to choose from. When I made the jump in 2006, My 2001 Wilderness needed 6 lug drums and 1" lift blocks. I was able to sell my takeoffs fast on craigs list to defray some of the cost. It was well worth it. And since I dumped ST tires I have not had a single tire issue. It's actually saved me money , not to mention problem free trips. I no longer give my tires much thought...They just work.. Much like the tires on my automobiles...I can TRUST them.

RE: New and Old Skins
That more aggressive tread is probably going to cost you tread life but that is covered under the warrantee. The bigger issue may be fuel cost. I am guessing a possible 10% reduction fuel economy as well. When you get some real numbers on that it will be interesting to see them.
My mileage did not decrease one bit. I just completed a trip towing my 5er with MC trailer 1,300 miles and mileage was exactly like times before.IME agressive tread is often quiet when new, and gets louder with wear.
Time will tell.
