On an 11k trailer, the LR E Goodyears should be plenty of tire.....I would imagine that puts your tires 20-30% over your axle ratings.

For an example, my trailer has 2x 4400# rated axles. I upgraded my tires to Goodyear Endurance (LR E) and now (if inflated to minimum 65 PSI) have 10160# tire capacity, on 8800# of axle capacity, on a 9660 GVWR trailer (of which about 1000# sits on the hitch). If I fill them to the rated 80 PSI they are 11320# of tire capacity. Making it all even more silly in how overkill they would be.

I did my last trip with them aired to 70 PSI and will likely do that or 65 PSI for future trips, tire capacity is just NOT an issue at all for me - and likely is not for you as well. I will note, that the 80 PSI/2830# rating is the maximum on my OEM wheels (came with 65 PSI LR D 2540# tires - matching the 65 PSI ratings on the Goodyears).
