If each of your trailer tires are 1,045 lbs in capacity then with two of them combined you'd have a capacity of 2,090 lbs. If you are sure your trailer weight is going to be near your GVWR of 2,600 lbs then you'd need to go with a tire that will have more capacity for your wheels like the part # AM10140 which has a capacity of 1,520 lb when inflated to 80 psi.
