Hankook actually has better specs and are priced better than Carlisle or Maxis.
D rating, 65psi, and 106mph speed rating. Available at Discount tire for $106/each. I just bought some myself after doing extensive research on trailer tires. The RA08 Hankook.

1. Determining the weight of your rig is a little complicated. What you really need to know is the weight that the tires are supporting. If you weigh the loaded trailer while hitched to a tow vehicle, you will get the weight the tires are supporting. If you weigh the loaded rig while unhitched and on the tongue jack, you are including the tongue weight that is normally supported by the tow vehicle so you need to subtract 10% of the scale reading. Having the rig loaded with gear, fuel and anything else you normally haul is important.
Some manufacturers recommend that the combined capacity of all of the tires should exceed the loaded trailer weight by 20 percent. That's what I used in the above table. Your tolerance for risk may be higher. I think you can be pretty confident if your rig, loaded for fishing, scales less than the numbers in the appropriate column on the right you are in pretty good shape with that tire.
These weights all assume maximum trailer tire pressure.
2. Calculated. They didn't publish this data.
3. Goodyear has published a bulletin regarding high speed operation of Marathon tires. In short, if your rims and valve stems can handle it, you can increase the pressure by 10psi if you need to operate at speeds up to 75MPH.

4. I was unable to find the speed rating for these tires. Industry standard is 65MPH, so assume so unless reliable information shows otherwise.
Note that some of these tires are available in lighter capacity tires with the same name. Maxxis especially! Be sure of what you are getting if you order tires.
This is the result of my own search for tires. I went with the good ones I found, and I added a few that other people here have talked about for comparison. Don't trust my information without checking for yourself. I've been known to do stupid things and make typos. More often than I'd like. If you find an error or you know of another tire that could or should be included, let me know and I'll add it to the table.
The scariest takeaway from the chart is that with a tandem you can hardly go wrong, but with a single you can hardly go right.
The "Maximum Rig Weight" Column gives the most your rig can weigh when scaled with just the trailer tires on the scale while the trailer is hitched to the tow vehicle. This gives you the weight on the trailer tires. That includes outboard, trailer, batteries, tackle, fuel, cooler and everything else, including that box of Twinkies in the rod locker. This takes the 20% cushion into account as well as the number of tires.
The "Max Speed" is the manufacturer's maximum speed rating for this tire. If you go faster, you lose load capacity. How much you lose I can't tell you, but if you are close to the weight limit, you'd better watch the speed rating.
