The closest in size tire we have available to the 215/70-14 are the ST215/75R14 tires like part # TTWTR21514 but the diameter is larger then your current tires so I do not recommend using them as a spare tire on your trailer.

The current tire size on your trailer part are typically passenger vehicle tires. It is not a good idea to use vehicle passenger tires on trailers because they aren't designed to handle the vertical downward force of a trailer's weight which can lead to blow outs. I recommend changing all of the tires out for a provider radial trailer ST215/75R14 tire part # TTWTR21514.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
