The closest standard trailer tire size to what you have now is the size ST235/85-16 which unlike the sizes you mentioned now is actually rated for trailer use. What you have now is a tire size designed to be used only on passenger vehicles.

The Provider # TTWPRG235R16 is a high capacity tire in this size that would work great on a dump trailer. It has a weight capacity of 4,400 lbs when inflated to it's max psi rating of 110 psi and has a higher speed rating too of 81 mph so it would be a great all around choice for your dump trailer I attached a review video for the tire for you to check out as well.
