I see no issue from info posted. May want to get D rated tired or E instead of p series. A good wdh is a must.

I disagree with the need for LT tires. Not with that size of trailer anyway. The P rated truck/SUV tires on today's trucks are not the same as the one on your dad's '72 Buick, nor like those that Suburbans came with 20 years ago. They have stiffer sidewalls than car tires, are built for loads, and properly inflated (many take up to 51 psi) will work fine for a trailer this size. I have no trouble with the P rated tires on my Sierra or my previous SUV.
