The best option we have for your trailer would be the Taskmaster part # TR20514 which is a ST205/75R14 like what you have in a Load Range C.

Going with a higher capacity tire when not needed really won't gain you anything, but this tire has a higher speed rating at 81 mph which is nice. Most trailer tires are only rated for 65 mph so a higher speed rating gives you more flexibility.

Also this a radial like what you have which is a superior tire construction than a bias ply.
