The recommended lug nut torque for Loadstar ST215/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14 Inch Galvanized Wheel, # AM3S560, is going to depend on your lug nut size. I have attached a chart which includes the following torque specs:

7/16 inch lug nut, 55-65 ft-lb.
1/2 inch lug nut, 75-85 ft-lb.
9/16 inch lug nut, 95-115 ft-lb.
12 mm lug nut, 70-80 ft-lb.
14 mm lug but, 85-95 ft-lb.

Unfortunately a collective OEM trailer parts catalog does not exist so I do not have any information as to what size of lug nuts were used on a 2011 Karavan trailer.
