Trailers need tires determined by the GAWRs or GVWR not its dry weight.
I would use what the trailer manufacture recommends which is the D tire which should have plenty of capacity for your trailers axle needs. Using higher rated tires than necessary may not be the best choice for several reasons. One is the trailers wheels may not be rated for 80 psi (E) and the advantage of a E over a D tire comes at 80 psi. If your trailer wheels can handle 80 psi then you can take advantage of the E tires extra reserve capacity.
Also your getting input from folks with small lighter weight trailers that could make it fine on any brand ST tires.
A good upgrade option for your heavy 37' TT is move on up to a 16" LT. However with a 2500-2600 lb per wheel load requirement new 16" wheels and LT225/75-16 E tires @ 2680 lbs would be required.
