Hey Merose! You can use the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL304 you were looking at on your trailer. These will be slightly larger so you're going to lose about 1/2" of clearance on the top and inside of the tire.
More than likely that won't be an issue but it wouldn't hurt to double check. Since these have a higher capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi you won't suffer from the blowouts from overloading the tires.
What kind of food trailer do you have?
