Expert Reply:

If the trailer's GVWR is 2,500 pounds you'll be fine with a Load Range D or E tire. A 205/65-10 tire with Load Range D like # AM1HP54 is rated up to 1,330 pounds at 70 psi and the E tire like # AM1HP56 is rated up to 1,650 pounds at 90 psi.

Either of those will be fine.

WHAT PLYS TIRE DO I NEED FOR MY 2500 LB TRAVEL TRAILER

A tire's ply rating is just one indicator of strength/durability. There isn't a specific ply rating you need based on the trailer's weight - you'll want to instead focus more on the tire's actual max load specification. Can you tell me what size tire is currently on the trailer?
