Helpful Expert Reply:
The Load Range D trailer tires in the size of ST 225/75R15 has a 2,540 lbs at 65 psi capacity like the part # AM10256.
For a 15 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern that has a 2,860 lbs at 80 psi capacity you would want the part # AM20539. In order for the rim to have a high enough capacity for the tire you have it will need to be a 6 lug wheel.
The # AM10256 has several positive reviews on the product page from our customers who have tried it so it would be a great option for you. I would highly recommend it for you.
