Tires for what?
Trailer tires are different than motorhome tires or tow vehicle tires.
There are thousands of opinions on replacement tires and many threads here about those opinions.

Both get decent ratings and reviews and are reasonably priced

Hi,
A quick Google search found this from a while ago.
https://www.moderntiredealer.com/new...-trailer-tires
Not condemning all lesser well known brands, but I wonder if sticking to a more widely known brand might not be better...
FWIW.

Michelin and the Goodyear Endurance seem to be the most popular for trailers in what I have seen posted on multiple forums. Not scientific at all but that's what I can answer based on responses to your question the dozens of times I've seen posts about it.
That size and weight trailer, I personally would go up a load range over what is recommended to give myself a little extra cushion. Lastly, the most important thing to do after purchasing a good set of tires is to check pressure EVERY time before you move it and have a solution (Air compressor) to bring them to proper inflation pressure when you find them low. Most trailer tires blow out due to excessive heat from being under inflated. That causes significant damage to the trailer often which ends up being an expensive way to learn to maintain properly inflated tires.

Michelin? Didn't know they still make trailer tires.

I'm running Gladiator QR25-TS load range E on my rig. I run them at 70 psi and so far I'm impressed with them. They've held up well after 2 1/2 seasons traveling all over the country during the summer months.
I got them in July of 2016 after one of the original tires blew out (luckily no damage done) in New Mexico. It was all the tire shop there had at the time and I wanted all 4 of those load range c tires replaced.

Don't know anything about what you picked. If 15" wheels, GY Endurance are getting good ratings. If 16", Sailun G637, but might be overkill for your trailer.

I put GY endurance on my 28ft Vibe, 7k dry weight. Upgraded to E load, run at 60lbs but their charts say I can go at 55. Handle well and greatly reduced away. Still need to upgrade WDH, but handles way better than stock tires.
