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..

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

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.
