Question about car tires. ST and LT?

I have a 1997 15 passenger Ford Van. I need to buy some used tires but can't find the exact ones for sale, used. I am aware that it is recommended but not required to buy always the same exact tires and brand but I can't do that at this time. I came across some used tires on ebay but they are "ST" which "I think" means "Special Trailer" or that it can only be used on trailers, not motor vehicles. Can ST tires be used when the vehicle's tires specifications are as follows: ALL SEASON TRAIL CAT LT Tread 2 Ply Steel + 2 Ply Polyester Sidewall 2 Ply Polyester LT225/75/R16 And the tires I want to buy on ebay are: GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST 225/75/16 TIRE (F2143) 4/32 (you can search this title on ebay if you wish) I'm a little confused. Doesn't ST means tires can only be used on trailers, not vehicles? Will those ST tires be ok for my vehicle (LT)? I don't carry passengers in that van. I drive it and I'm just short on money and need to buy some use tires for it. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

1. here is a link that will help explain some things to you about LT and ST. From what I can see, if it begins with LT, then you can use it on Vans. ST is not to be used. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=46
