Helpful Expert Reply:
The LT245/75R16 Cooper Tires Load Range E I researched online have a load capacity of 3,042 lbs each. This will give you a total trailer capacity of 12,168 lbs and will work fine to haul your 7500 lb tractor.
If you want tires rated for your complete axle capacity of 14,000 lbs, I recommend the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501 rated for 3,960 lbs each or the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 rated for 4,400 lbs. Both of these surpass the weight required for the axle capacity but have stronger ply ratings for stiffer sidewall and less heat buildup when traveling.
