When choosing tires, it is important to choose a tire that matches, or exceeds, your axle's capacity. It is also important to note that trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi. The max psi will be noted on the tire's sidewall.
If you need a tire with load range B, I recommend the Loadstar Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST74. This tire has a max load of 1,100 pounds at 35 psi. You will want to double check your bolt pattern, but if you need a tire and wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, you could use # AM3S050.
For a load range C tire, I recommend the Taskmaster Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM1758013C. This tire will hold a max load of 1,360 pounds at 50 psi. For a tire on a wheel, you could use # AC13R45WSQ.
If you need a load range D tire, I recommend the Karrier Radial Tire # AM10210. The max load for this tire is 1,610 pounds at 65 psi. If you need a tire with a wheel, you could use # AM31985.
I recommend the LubriMatic Professional Pistol Grease Gun # L30416 for you. This grease gun has a flexible hose for easy use. To use this grease gun with your boat trailer, you will want marine wheel bearing grease, like the LubriMatic # L11390.
