Interesting article on tire rack about tire applications

This is the paragraph that caught my attention Also consider that Special Trailer (ST), as well as Light Truck (LT) tires are fully rated for trailer applications. This means ST- and LT-sized tires...

Sure am glad my trailer mfg. installed LTs as OEM.
Yes, it depends on the manufacturer and the size of the trailer.

Usually it requires a large size LT tire to carry the same capacity of a smaller size ST tire. Then cost and tire clearances become an issue.
