Much depend on if you need a C/D or a E 15" tire as their isn't much of a selection in 15" non ST tires.
There are several brands of LT235/75-15 C at 1980 lbs capacity.
Goodyear Wrangler HT in a LT215/75-15 D load range at 2095 lbs.
Maxxis has a commercial U-168 Bravo in a few 15" LT up to 2337 lb load D tire.
A all position Vanco 2 in a few 15" sizes up to 2470 lb D tire.
Yokohama has a RY 215 for commercial operation in a 700R 15 D tire at 2040 lbs capacity.
Your wheels need to handle the pressure rating of the tire your going to use and have proper clearance .
The ones on it now are 225/75/15 LR-D
