Ditto.
You are fortunate that with your trailer, a wide variety of American made tires are available. Some people will make a tire purchase based on the least expensive price. These are the same folks that need the number of US Rider and their trailer dealer, for the current prices and availability of replacement fenders.
It's likely that your trailer uses 15" "C" range tires. For a nominal cost you can upgrade to "D" range equipment. This arguably may be overkill, but will afford a large reserve capacity and increase their reliability.
I keep pushing LT truck tires for this common question. There are no low speed limitations, and the tires are as reliable on your trailer as they are on the trucks for which they are intended. In addition to the above mentioned brands, I favour Goodrich and Bridgestone products. I've never owned them, but in my area, Cooper is well received by truck owners. If you are considering a LT tire, specify the all weather thread instead of the aggressive M&S patterns.
