Load range will be different based on the size of your tire, so there isn't a specific load range I can offer, but assuming a trailer with that amount of weight on it has a double axle I can give you some examples.

If you had a double axle trailer that had 15 inch wheels you would need four of the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10245. These tires have a maximum capacity of 2,150 lbs when inflated to their max 65 psi so four of them would give you an 8,600 lb capacity. You always want the capacity of your tires to go beyond the GVWR to ensure you have the right capacity.

I have added a link to a video review of these tires, as well as a link to a help article on trailer tires and our entire selection of tires and wheels for you to take a look at.
