Trailer tire issues?

Leaving tuesday for 2900 mile move. Trailer is 7k and I have 1200 on tongue and 7300 on back axles. I know trailer is over loaded but didn't have choice. Trailer is brand new and tires are rated at 1820 lbs a piece. Since I am pretty much at max on the back, do you think it'll make the 2900 trip without blowouts. I have them at the 50 max psi and plan to not go over 65 even if it's 80mph speed limit. I know it'll wear tires faster but I don't care this is only trip this mew trailer will have with this much weight. I would think keeping speed down the tires should make it maxed for 3k miles when they brand new. Any insight?
  • I don't know what it is about some of the utility trailer tires. I got Tow Max on mine that came on it 15 years ago. They have been totally overloaded for local use.

    I have also loaned it out to neighbors for trips like SC and VA. I give them the old travel at your own risk and here is a spare. you think they never went over 65? :B

    The stems got rotten and had to be replaced and I am still trucking. Can't figure this one out. :h
