Is D or R better for trailer tires?
A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear.

For those reasons I would recommend an R tire over a D tire.
Why can’t you use truck tires on a trailer?
The dangers. When a car or truck tire is used on a trailer, it causes stress that the tire wasn’t designed to handle. The tread of the tire begins wearing differently than it was designed. The tire’s actual weight capacity is different from the load rating shown because of the different frame designs.
