Go get it weighed so you know how much ACTUAL trailer axle weight you have, then you'll know what tire you'll need.
If it's a 5er, you'll have about 6800 lbs on both axles but if it's a TT then you'll have more. Of course you really should weigh it loaded for camping so you can get a worse case scenario.
If you have any more axle weight than 6800, i'd be upgrading to 16" wheels and going that route. The LT, C rated tire i have is only rated for 1985 lbs per tire, so you'd want a little more tire if you're over.
If i had only 3 tires, it would max my tires out on capacity with 5900 axle weight. But i have 4, and i think i'll be good. You see, you don't figure in the pin weight as it's riding on the truck tires.
