All 8000 will not be on axles.
Go weigh the individual axles at a CAT Scale and then make a choice.

OK I forgot that American trailers must have 10 to 15% of total weight on towbar.

So weight devided over the 4? wheels is 8000-10 or 15%= between 7200 lbs and 6800 lbs,

But the tires on the axle must be able to carry the GAWR( gross axle weight rating ) by law, and sometimes axles are placed with more loadcapacity then you would expect by the weights that are allowed to law.

In this case the GAWR of your trailer can be higher then 7200/2 9 in case of 2 axles) wich is 3600 lbs , and would need maxload a tire of 1800 lbs , then GAWR can be for instance 4000 lbs wich would need minimum 2000 lbs maxload.

So you have to find the GAWR's of your trailer to be shure.
And then its better to have a reserve on tires.

So there are 2 things to know.
What do you need to law , and what would be best to laws of nature.
