The highest rated tire we offer that will replace what you currently have is a Load Range E ST225/75R15, part # AM10303. This tire has a capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi. Without knowing how many axles you have and the weight of your trailer it is hard for me to say for certain if this would have enough capacity for your setup. This is the highest rated tire in the size you need that we offer though.
This is a radial tire unlike your previous tire that was a bias ply. The main difference between a radial ply and a bias ply tire is how the tire is constructed. The cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, and the cords on a radial tire run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel, or across the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip.
A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear.
A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer.
I attached an FAQ article on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
