as to solution in my opinion i see 3 significant statements posted earlier :
from lowsuv :
The real solution to tire failures is to UPGRADE TO A HIGHER WEIGHT RATING in pounds as shown on the sidewall of every tire .

My searching has found numerous LT tires that will "fit" these smaller trailers. A short list would include:

215/70R-15C
225/70R-15
All the above in load indexes from 100-110 (1764 lbs-2337 lbs )
In Canada, all of the above, plus also the Vanco 8
184-14
