There should be a sticker or plate on the trailer tongue or frame somewhere that lists the proper tires for that trailer. You can also check the tire size on the trailer now and go by that.
Based on the gross trailer weight at 6,000 pounds, if it is a single axle it likely takes 235/80-16 or 235/85-16 tires.
If it has 2 axles then they are likely 14 or 15 inch tires. I have linked some articles on trailer tires for you that should also help.
