Helpful Expert Reply:

The best way to select a tire and the load range is by checking the weight rating of the axle on your trailer and making sure that the combined tire rating (2 tires for 1 axle) meets or exceed the weight capacity of the axle itself.

In the ST205/75R15 tire size the best option we have is the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TR20515D which has a load range D (2,150 lbs at 65 psi), a max speed rating of 81 mph, and comes with superior tread siping to help in wet conditions like rain or snow.

This tire is available with a Vesper silver mod wheel # MX97FR. Both of these wheels have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern which it looks like you have from the picture that you sent in.
