That's old terminology. They use load range ratings such as E, D, etc. Tires are now rated by pressure. The higher lettering the more pressure they can hold. Higher pressure means higher load.
Tires are the one thing I would not go cheap on. IMHO, buy the best tire and always upgrade to a higher rating. The trailer manufacturers give you the bare minimum rating. My trailer has 205/75-15 and I run load range E at 80 psi. My tires are Maxxis M0008 ST205 75R 15E. Next time I might go with Goodyear's. They are having good reviews at other sites such at the Keystone forum, etc. Beyond load range D, 65psi you need to upgrade to metal core valve stems. The rubber ones are rated to 65psi.
Don't go cheap!
