I was talking to the guy at the trailer store about this not long ago. First thing he said was to use a car or light truck tire, not a trailer tire. They last longer, and are cheaper. They are also usually a higher quality.

Second, have the tires and wheels balanced just like you do for your car.

You won't find a car/LT tire in the exact same size you have now. But if you go slightly shorter to a 70 series you have a lot of choices. 4 light truck 235/70-16 tires will carry close to 8,000#, last 35-40K miles, and cost less than $100 each.
