Determine what you have; tire size, load range (take the max carrying weight x4), wheel capacity etc. Then find what your trailer specs are; gvw in particular. For me, I want at least max tire load x4 = max load carrying capability plus 10% over the gvw of the trailer. I do NOT believe in buying tires that will only support the weight of the trailer less the tongue weight - fool's play in my opinion.

I have had tire work/replacement done at my personal CW along with my local tire shop. You need to make sure they have plenty of room for you to bring the trailer in (and get it out) and that trailer tires are something they are familiar with and do all the time, IMO.
