Go to a tire store. They'll have a better idea what you need and greater options.
Depending on the type of rim, they may be tough to balance a the tire store. Have found that some wheel assemblies on house trailer wheels are not well balanced either, which a store-balanced tire won't affect either. Unbalanced tires can shake things apart and put undue wear on the suspension & start fatigue cracks, although the balance does not need to be perfect. I have been successful for years with my trailers jacking up the trailer, giving the wheel a gentle spin (assuming no brake drag), and watching for the heavy spot when it finally stops. With used wheel weights from a tire store, add adequate similar weight on both front and back on the light spot of the tire till the tire quits stopping in the same place.
Tires are tough pills to swallow, but your pride & joy, and the trailer, is riding on these things, so don't get too cheap.
