More capacity above a 10-15 percent reserve above your axle ratings isn't needed.
Your 10200 gvwr trailer may have around 2000 lb pin weight leaves around 2000 lb load per tire.

Have you looked at the new gen ST tires like the Providers....Goodyear Endurance....or Carlisle new HD with the higher 81-87 mph ratings. Higher speed rating on a load carrying tire like a ST or LT are more about coping with heat at highway speeds.
OK I decided to go ahead and drop down to an E rated tire. Looking at the goodyear endurance (made in USA) 235 85. Max load is more than enough at 3640 but pressure is 80 psi.
Thank you for you comments.
