Expert Reply:

The BR-78-15 tires are an older tire size designation. Stated in modern terms, the size would be ST225/75-15 so I recommend the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TTWTRTM2257515D. This tire is rated for 2,540 lbs at 65 psi and speeds up to 81 mph. It has automotive grade sipes to help with traction in wet or snowy conditions. The radial tires will work much better than your older tires because they will distribute heat better which will give them a longer lifespan.
