Helpful Expert Reply:
You'll want to choose tires that have a combined load rating greater than the GVWR (maximum allowable weight of the trailer, trailer weight plus all gear stowed on it).
I'd recommend the # TR20514 Provider radial in 205/75-15, load range C which would have a combined load rating (4 tires) of 7040 lbs which is plenty for the 6000 lb weight of your travel trailer. The tire carries an 81 mph speed rating. Provider is a well known tire supplier for the OEM market, who has recently started selling tires to the aftermarket.
