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.

It seems that even being more expensive Goodyear Endurance is still subject to the 5 year failure problem. Just pulled off one date coded 3618 with a belt shift. Luckily I found it at home and not on the highway.

I've had a perfect experience with Maxxis 8008 tires so far. I ran my last set 9 years (not recommended) and put on a new set last year. Not a single issue. I always run them at the max. of 65 psi.
Here's the caveat, though. We take 3 trips per year of 3-1/2 to 5 hours each way. The rest are local trips. So our annual mileage is piddlysquat compared to many of you. There's a lot less chance for me to have problems.

My Maxxis dealer pushes Maxxis Bravo UE-168 commercial tires in a few 14" sizes from 1875 up to 2271 lbs capacity/D load range for customers trailers. These come with a Euro 225/70-15"C designation. C = commercial use = trucks/vans/cars/trailers.
Same with 15" sizes with 3 load range D tires ....
215/70-15C"...2271 lbs
225/70-15C"...2469 lbs
235/70-15C"...2335 lbs
Of course as most folks know the LT doesn't come in all sizes as ST tires nor will the same size LT have the same capacity as a ST tire.
OP never gave his tire size/load range so he may need a 14"/15"/16"/17.5" size tire with a P or C/D/E/F/G/H load range.

I've been on this site for many years. I've seen a lot of advice. Some good and some not so good. However, there are two contributors to whom you should always listen. One is John Barca and the other is JIMNLIN.
