Expert Reply:
Trailer tires are rated by tire individually. For example, if you have the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 - Load Range B # AM10060, this tire is rated at 785 pounds at 60 psi. Therefore, you will have 1,570 pound total on that axle.
It is important to note that you still need to consider the weight capacities on other components on the trailer. You need to abide by the lowest weight rating that you have.
