You will want to check your calipers for the number stamped on the outside between the two bleeder valves. (See image) If the number is 225 (calipers rated for 3,500 lbs - 6,000 lbs), then the correct brake pads are part # K225CP that you referenced.

If you need pads with stainless steel backing plates (if your trailer gets launched in salt water you will want these) you would want part # K225CPSS.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
