Are Tractor Supply Trailer Tires similar quality to Discount Tire tires?

We have had a rough go of trailer tires lately. It's the trailer that we use to haul the 4 wheelers to and from the camp. Nothing crazy heavy.
The axle was bent at some point and we went through those tires (explains those).
Put a new axle on the trailer and we finished off one of the tires from the previous axle (explains that one).
My buddy went the cheap route and ordered some knock off on Amazon and we blew out the sidewalls first use on that one.
Had to stop on the highway twice on the last trip to replace spares. I'm over that crap.
Now we've put Tractor Supply tires on which appear to be a Kenda brand tire. He keeps going the cheap route, and I'm at the point where I'm willing to pay for better quality tires.
Anyone know if the Kenda have decent life or if I'd have better luck taking them to Discount to have them mount a tire on?

Kenda is a really solid trailer tire. Not a chinabomb

Make sure to get 8ply radial tires and you should be okay. Y’all may be running those bias tires that ain’t worth a dayum.

Looking at tractor supply's site it didn't list how many ply the tires were. Guess I need to look at Discount's site to see what they offer there as well to compare. My buddy wants to do a lot of stuff on the cheap and I'm pretty much the opposite most of the time. If I'm going to use something as frequently as we use that trailer, I'm going to not cut a corner. It pisses me off when we have to stop on the side of the road to deal with his cheapness.
The trailer is his, but I house it at my place and use it for myself frequently which is why it's somewhat of a mutual issue for us.

Goodyear Endurance. Your problems will disappear 100%. Other tires "may" be good enough, but NOTHING will beat the Endurance for your application.

You want a 8-10 ply tire on a trailer. Pay more, spend less time on side of road.
Unrelated I just replaced the tires on my bat wing disk with 20 ply and then filled with genseal.
SOOOO tired of changing a tire in a field.

with very very few exceptions, they are sell the exact same tires and brands with minor price differences they get by buying them in volume

I have had china bombs blow while parked and while moving on our horse trailer. Replaced with Goodyear Endurance. No longer ahve the trailer but they were good tires.
Maxxis has a good trailer tire as well.
LT tires might be an option but that is always a debate using LT for a trailer.
Look at RV or horse boards and see what they are using/recommending.

Goodyear Endurance is the best trailer tire on the market hands down!

What type of trailer?
Single Axle?
Dual?
Load distribution and tongue height matter a lot on the highway, especially on a dual axle.
... and yes, quality radials are the way to go.

If you go Goodyear, make sure you get the Endurance and not the marathons. Marathons are awful.

Discount Tires sells regular name brand tires. Their tires are not different.
