You have read the reviews on etrailer and know these are Chinese tires, yes? Even Goodyear got bit when sourcing their Marathon tires there. The one comprehensive review I saw on tire reviews and more mentioned multiple failures on the inner sidewall.
I don’t like to flat out dismiss a supplier, but consider the collateral damage your trailer might experience. Also, the likelihood of finding a replacement on short notice.
I assume you are motivated by price? Some bargains, aren’t.

Westlake tires are very common on the Grand Design trailers. The load range E ones suffered from a delamination failure where the tread would come off leaving the belts and a fully inflated tires... all while causing thousands in damage as the tread section flapped around. When we had our Reflection, they were one of the first things to get swapped.

Thanks. I couldn't find out the country of origin on the etrailer site, I think I'll go with Goodyar Endurance
