Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Multiply 3970 by 4 which is 15880. Well within the GCVW of the truck. The only weight the trailer adds to the truck is the tongue weight. So that 15880 is the full weight of the truck with cargo and people plus the tongue weight of the trailer. You'll go over the trucks GVW before you have to worry about the tires. You're fine.
