Default trailer capacity to the max

I've had a fair amount of trouble with my tires on an Owens Slide on trailer, get real cranky changing tires on the side if I-75 and want to fix the problem forever. My current plan is all stainless disc brakes and change my tires and hubs to fit 15 inch load range D, probably bias ply tires, with a spare tire and spare hub. Right now I've got 215/75 r14 tires, load range C, the largest that will fit on my hubs and supposed to be fine to carry 7480. Its a 7000 lb(gross) trailer and a 25 seafari. I've estimated weight and should be well under 7000 most of the time and slightly over 7000 fully loaded for a Bahama trip. The heavier tires should mean they are loafing with that load.

Any ideas, comments? Bias vs Radial? What brand of stainless brakes would you recommend?

Anybody besides me anchored out when that front came through last Sunday?
