I'm in a similar situation. I think I have 15" wheels on my trailer because the 16" were an upgrade. My max trailer weight is 11,472. 11472/4 tires = 2,868.
The max weight for the 15" maxiss and carlisle is 2,830. LT tires aren't made for 15" that I have seen.
Is the trailer mfg assuming a % of weight to be on the truck so they can get by with 2,830?
I still have the original tires on the trailer and the psi written on the side of the trailer is 110 lbs (or maybe that is the torque).
Your trailer has 5200# axles so 2830# tires provide about 10% extra load capacity.
