Tire shop got me a size that was only 1/2 inch taller than my regular 15 tires, so all I had to do was buy rims.
With 15 inch trailer tires I used to blow out on average at least two a summer. Had damage to trailer, and changing trailer tires on the interstate is much more dangerous than drag racing.
Bought a new trailer this year and 16 inch tires were an option, so I got them on it as well.

The light truck tires are NOT LEGAL in most states. There are many states that it is the law that the tire has to be marked "Trailer Tire". I'm sure if I had 15" light truck tires they may last longer too but they are not legal for me.
