I replaced my old 10 plys with 14 plys on my 28' box trailer a couple years ago. So far, so good.
Just because they have a maximum inflation rating of 110, doesn't mean you have to fill them that high. The pressure should be commensurate with the load. I run mine at 80 when loaded, 55 empty. Watch the tread wear pattern as a guide. Wear in the center means you have too much pressure and edge wear means too little pressure.

Tire load carrying capacity is based on the air pressure and volume.

Knock on wood My current Maxxis brand E rated 215x75x15 inch trailer tires are going on their fifth year, maybe their 6th year CRS on the exact ear I hope I'm not jinxing myself now I used it this weekend to go to Madras Drags, around 45 to 50 miles north of me, used it last winter to go from Bend, OR to Glendale, AZ to buy a bracket car for my youngest granddaughter and her Husband to learn to drag race in with those tires on the 24 Ft. Pace shadow enclosed car trailer, it weighed 8650 Lbs. on the axles the last time I weighed it with my old pump gas Duster in it, I hope they like drag racing
