For your single axle trailer I recommend inflating the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10235to 75 psi when the tires are cold. Each tire is rated for 2,200 lbs for an overall rating of 4,400 lbs. These tires are a great choice. They give you a little cushion for peace of mind but not so much more weight capacity that it will make your ride stiff.
