You are making the right choice replacing your vehicle tires on your trailer with ST rated trailer tires. Vehicle tires are not rated for the vertical load that trailers see. Closest tire size would be ST205/75R15 like the part # LHWL300 which would work great on your current wheel.

With this you'll get a radial tire (preferred style), that has a higher speed rating than most trailer tires (75 mph instead of 65 mph), and a 2 year roadside assistance program. If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.
