jimr,
I have no experience with the Geostar, but I have had some with the Nexen brand. Nexen is known in the tire business as an entry level tire, as are many of the tires made in China, and not a brand I would feel comfortable with on my trailer. IMHO, peace of mind is worth more than the few dollars saved by going with low cost tires. Stick with the name brand tires and you will have a more harmonious outcome.
Unless you plan on grossly overloading your 5200 pound axles, you have no need for a 14 ply, 110 psi tire on the 3000RK. I have the same trailer and run LT235/85R16 load range E tires rated for 3042 pounds at 80 psi. More than enough to carry the 3000 when loaded to it's maximum capacity.
