Sounds like your new ones might be a shade taller and narrower than the older ones, but should be just fine.

What do they run at agri-supply?

But these are D load range tires, and you didn't mention if your old ones were or not. Still, $75 each isn't bad considering how much tires have gone up. My truck takes E load range, and the last set of Michelins I bought for it were $135 each (5 years old). Same tire is over $200 today.

If you're like me with trailers, my tires tend to dry-rot long before I wear the tread off them.

yup; I run the same tires on my trailer except 1 size bigger. (ST 225/75D15) as long as those rims are 15" the tires wont care they came from a minivan;
I have 6 lug (think 1/2 ton Chevy) rims on mine, the "stockers" are regular, old camper rims, my spare which I got from the junkyard came from a full sized jeep, late 80s Grand Wagoneer.... those Carlisle tires fit just fine...still "15 inch"

I hear you forkz, but you did the right thing - it was money well spent. I'm sort of anal about trailers.

The "D" means they are bias-ply, rather than radials. That is much better for a trailer, they track straighter behind the truck. With a multi-axle trailer, it's even better. When you turn a trailer tight and the tires scrub, it can damage the cords or a radial tire. Some manufacturers have addressed this by adding a mesh layer under the tread, but the real fix is to just use bias-plies.
