The closest trailer tire size to the 155/13 that you have would be the ST175/80-13 like the part # AM10210. This will be a little bit wider but it will still fit. This will be 20 mm wider than what you have now.

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…
