Well, it's noon, hot outside and I'm hiding in the house with nothing to do. So here goes
Once I changed the wheels on a single axle boat trailer from 14" to 15" and got heavy duty tyres. Yeah, I noticed a lot more vibration and jiggling on the trailer. So, the OEM tyres are a compromise between load carrying and ride. Didn't change back and eventually sold the boat. For a bigger boat.
Any manufacturer that tells you what tire is good or bad by specific brand is opening themselves to a lawsuit. I suspect that making a decision on a tyre is not their concern as long as you use the size they supplied.
