For the Lion's Head 16 x 7 Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel # LHJM513 the maximum psi pressure will depend on the specific valve stem installed when your tires are mounted. We have valve stems, all shown on the linked page, that vary in their psi pressure ratings. For higher pressures over 100-psi a bolt-on metal valve stem like # AM20906 is preferred.

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…
