Expert Reply:
The modern equivalent size to 8.55-15 would be 225/75-15. For highway use, I'd recommend going with a radial tire for its better ride quality and its better ability to shed excess heat.
For a radial tire, I'd recommend the Kenda Karrier 225/75-15 Load Range D tire, part # AM10256. The tire has a 2540 lb per tire capacity.
If you won't be running the trailer on the highway much, a less expensive bias-ply tire like part # AM1ST96 would work great for you.
I've linked to product videos for each tire mentioned above.
