No, those tires are "C" type tires - the European equivalent to LT tires. They are as suitable for trailer usage as LT tires are.
CapriRacer,
Thanks!!! This opens up other options short of lifting the camper.
I'm assuming the C at the end of the tire number is how this is declared?
They also list this as:

Premium rubber compound and extra plies* resist cuts, punctures and abrasions
Which in my case is a plus afer seeing the cuts I have just going camping.
I also noticed this

Rib-type tread design with deep shoulder grooves provides all-season capability.
Since we do winter camp, I'm making an assumption these can be used in cold weather. Until you mentioned that not all tires are able to be used near freezing I never thought to look for this but now do.
I also have to find rims. This company who my TT maker also used, (just not mine) listed both psi and load.
http://www.dexstarwheel.com/products.html#changerIt appears if I'm reading the Maxxis site correct the 205/75R16C requires a 5.5" wide rim which is not a normal trailer rim. This tire OD works in the existing space of my wheel wells.
The 215/75R16C uses a 6" wide rim which is standard. Just I have a slight height issue to work on.
Both have the same laod rating.
When we go to an LT tire, do we need add in extra load capacity margin (15%) like we do on the ST's?
Thanks
John
