Typically for trailer tires I recommend the Taskmaster brand because they have higher speed ratings than most trailer tires at 81 mph compared to 65 mph like most brands.

For that the part # TR20514 would be a great option. It has a weight capacity of 1,760-lb max load at 50 psi. Which if you trailer is a tandem axle trailer this would be your best option. Be sure to keep tire inflated to it's max PSI rating to ensure full capacity and prevent heat build up.
