Trailer Tires Load Range?

I'm about to get some new tires for the dual axle car hauler i have.. i just purchased this from a friend and it has some bald P tires on it..
i know i should be looking for LT type tires.. my rims are 15".. but what im trying to figure out is the load ranges on the tires..

what do they corrispond too? C=? D=? E=?

my trailer wieghs in at 1500.. and the jeep is 4400.. for a total of 5900lbs..

ST205/75R/15 Load range C.... Should handle 5900# Stay away from LT tires on a trailer. Better safe than sorry.....

buy tires that are designed specifically for trailers. passenger and light truck tires dont hold up under the conditions imposed on trailers.

Go with a minimum of load range D. E would be even better. Better to underload your tires than to overload them and the cost difference isn't that much.
