The tires you put on your trailer MUST be rated to carry the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of you trailer.

You should not use "regular" passenger tires on your trailer.

I doubt you can find LT (light truck) tires in the size (I'm guessing 14 or 15 inch wheels - probably ST205/75D14 ) that are on your trailer....so you will have to stick with ST tires.
Most all ST tires are made in China and have a shaky reputation.
Many of us have had good luck with Maxxis 8008 tires.

and yes...nitrogen is pretty much of a hype.

I disagree.... I have 14 inch wheels and found a better rated LT tire..
however.. the op's tire size is still unknown at this time..

If the op would kindly post his tire size and TT gross weight we might better advise him.

TexasChaps The size for my T.T tires are 205/75R14
However the sticker on the outside of the unit says GVWR 7,620LBS, and the sticker inside of the manual says GWVR 6,000LBS which one is correct?

I would opt for the sticker on the unit. A GVWR of 7620lbs minus the hitch weight ( say 750lbs ) gives you 6870lbs on your tires so you most likely have 3500lb tandem axles. 14 inch tires typically come in load range C or D at best, load C is 1760lbs ( 4x = 7040 ) and is what the TT most likely came with as it's the least expensive option and has practically no safety margin. ( a few percent at best )
Load D is 2270lbs so 4x = 9080lbs.. ( around 30 percent margin )
Without starting another ST/LT tire war, I would suggest a load D LT and there are very few of them at 14inch size unfortunatley.. I personally have no faith whatsoever in ST tires and have always used LT's.. ( and coincidentally never had a blowout.. ) as long as the rating is greater than your max load and they have a bias ply type tread you will be ok.. I have used the Maxxis ue168n bravo truck tire for many years with no issues. Part # is: TL12458000, size:205R14C, service rating:109/107Q, and load capacity:2270lbs
