Tire sizes are properly identified by their Size Designation. ST225/75R15 is a designated size. LT235/85R16 is a designated size. Load capacities for ST & LT tires are identified by a load range letter on their sidewalls. Some designated sizes are built in more than one load range. Load range is not part of the designated size any more than a speed rating.
