It's not just the weight rating you need to consider. It's the "weight at speed" rating. It's a measure of how much sidewall stress the tire can withstand. You should never exceed either value.
ST225/75R15 D is 2540lbs at 65mph.
LT225/75R16 115/112R E is 2680lbs at 106mph
Michelin LTX M/S2's will roll easier, wear longer, and have better braking than the LE2's. Either one, you can't go wrong.
As for fit, there's zero chance that an extra 0.5" radius will create clearance problems. You will, however, very likely need to adjust your hitch for proper weight distribution and sway control. TT sitting 1/2" higher will take tension off.
