The load capacity on the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM32156 is the individual load rating.

If you wanted to determine the load rating of your vehicles tires, you would need to take your GVWR of your vehicle and divide by 4.

For instance, the load rating for # AM32156 is 1,870-lbs, would be doubled for a single axle trailer, and be quadrupled for a tandem axle trailer.

However, you are always going to be limited by the axle and trailer frame rating.
