Expert Reply:
We have 3 tire options that are Kenda Loadstar in that size. We have the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST77, the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range C # AM1ST76, and the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range B # AM1ST74. The difference between these are their load capacity and ply rating with the strongest being the Load Range D tires.
To ensure proper tire pressure on Loadstar tires, you will inflate them to their max capacity listed on the sidewall of the tire when filled cold (prior to your trip). They are designed to be filled to the max capacity and they do account for the tires heating up and pressure rising in the tires from road friction and ambient temps so you don't need to worry about that.
I've attached an article to help further as trailer tires are very different from other tires and this article outlines some of those differences.
