So, you put tires with a maximum load capacity of 4400# each on 6000# GAWR axles.
Below is a link to a Sailun load inflation chart. To stick to tire industry standards, your Sailun tires should be inflated to a minimum cold inflation PSI of 80 PSI. You could actually go down to 75 PSI and still be within replacement tire standards. The 80 PSI will provide more than 20% in reserves per tire.

Note: I may have misinterpreted the Sailun tire size as you did not use a proper nomenclature when explaining your tire sizes. Prefixes such as ST or LT are needed for proper size designations. I got the OE tire size from the trailer specs. I surmised your Michelins were LT tires, 16".
As you can see in the link below, Sailun does have the identical designated sized LT tires as the Michelins you replaced.
