First off.. what's your tire guy recommend?

If you have the "Typical" Sendel Aluminum Rims (3580# max load and 97# max psi ). A single axle trailer would equate to 7160# Gross Trailer Weight capacity on the wheels. Probably about twice your load. You can check the rim rating on the spoke backside, one will list the model and capacity.

Although I usually recommend the sidewall max., in your case that might be extreme, and actually exacerbate the "single axle bounce". If your side placard suggests 60#, run with that till you get a better read from tire manufacturer/retailer. (You might need to go to their sight and decipher the chart
).

Too soft you run HOT... too hard you BOUNCE!

p.s. I'd rather see you with too much tire, as opposed to too little, but check your p.s.i., and get it right.. Good job for asking, sorry , not many solid answers here.

Good Luck,
