I just went through the exercise of unmounting a wheel to get at the markings inside, because my understanding was that those markings would tell me what pressures the rim would handle.
All I could find were 15x6J M2, A1509, and MAX LOAD 2860 lbs... plus a couple of hieroglyph looking markings that look like a stylized angled tread with "17" and a stylized perpendicular tread with "18".
My current TKs are ST225/75R15 E. Is there anything more heavy-duty that it wouldn't be a problem for me to run?

CD, been a long, ugly day and my battery is about out but since you are in that predicament...and I don't like TKs, I'll post a couple of thoughts and others can chime in.
Your wheels are rated for E tires. There are lots of E rated ST tires and TK would not ever be on my list for a replacement. I did not take time to pull up your trailer or its specs but assuming the E is going to give you adequate cushion. In that case I'm thinking at least upgrade to the Carlise Radial HD LRE. I also believe someone mentioned that one of the manufacturers is now making a steel cased tire in that size...maybe Cal? Hopefully they will chime in. I'll check back tomorrow and good luck.
