We sell trailer tires individually and premounted on trailer rims. If all you need is a tire in the 5.30-12 tire size that you referenced you would want the # AM10068. This is a Load Range D with 1,205 lbs of capacity when the tire is inflated to 105 psi.

Trailer tires should always be inflated to their max psi. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat up and cause the tire to fail.
