On your trailer the certification label is supposed to be on the left forward exterior portion of the trailer. Probably just forward of the basement door or propane door.
All 2004 & 2005 Keystone trailers with 6000# GAWR axles came equipped with LT235/85R16E tires of various brands. Most of them had failure rates very similar to those trailers and axles fitted with ST235/80R16E tires in subsequent years. That is, of course, a subjective finding, based on my personal research.

When your trailer was built the ST235/85R16E did not exist. Also, the new 2007 rules were not enacted requiring better descriptions on the certification label. The bottom line is, at that time, the 235/85R16E was the only tire built with that description and it was an LT tire.
