RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
which axle is the worn tire on? That is where I'd put the new set. That axle is taking most of the pivoting under load.
That being said...
If I were you, I'd replace all 4 of the tires ASAP. The B rated tires are a bare minimum for hauling your CJ around, and I'd have to guess they are not rated as a trailer tire as well.
A "Trailer" rated tire has special compounds and different construction to help it survive a life under a trailer. Its very different than a car tire. And a matched set of tires will keep the heat down, reduce blowouts and make life easier on the trailer suspension.

tires are all trailer tires all 205/75-15...
It's just the load range thats different.
BUT... I think all four would be good $$$$

Whelp, I can respond, but not any better than My Little did. He's right, B rated tires are pretty light duty. If all you can afford are another set of the same, they should go where the worn ones were.

Just don't spend needlessly but that said maybe I should replace all four tires with the C rated ST205/75-15 TRAILER TIRES

Sorry. Tough times for a lot of folks, so I never assume anything when It comes to other peoples money.
But yeah, if money is no problem, and you want the trailer to be ready when you need it. I would go with new skins. The C's should be fine for a little old CJ.

I don't know how much your trailer weighs but I just put new tires on my trailer. I went with D rated tires. All 4 were $400 mounted, out the door.
They were the same size you have.
