The Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # TTWTRTM2057515C have a load range c rating so they will be good for up to 1,820 lbs each. It seems like you have upgraded to a larger tire size at one point so you won't need to worry about maxing the weight capacity of the tires out since they are rated for much higher than your trailer. They have an 81 mph speed rating which is perfect for long highway trips.

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…
