"Trail America ST 205/75 D15" .......So, I got this spare Trail America for a great price. Should I get more of these tires to replace my current tires?

When it comes to tires let google be your connection to the rest of the trailering world.
The ST205/75-D15 is a old tech bias ply tire and isn't the best idea for a trailer thats makes lots of long trips. The D before the 15" is the tip off. The ST205/75 R15 is a radial tire and a has proven to be a cooler operating longer lasting tire.
If your looking to get away from the ST tire we have LT and multi position tires out here that are very popular with the general trailering public.
More options...
Depending on room in the wheel well and proper wheel pressure/wheel width requirements the Goodyear Wrangler HT in a LT235/75-15 C (50 psi) at 1980 lb capacity. Most LT tire makers carry this size.
And a Wrangler HT in a LT215/75-15 D (65 psi) at 2090 lbs capacity.
Maxxis LT U-168 are a commercial grade tire with several 15" sizes and have became popular with all types of trailer owners.
Vanco 2 from Continental another popular tire for trailer users has several 15" sizes and load capacities.
I see the Yokohama RY215 in a 700R 15 D at 2040 lbs capacity is popular on some of the other RV websites.
