We have trailer fenders that are designed specifically for the 13 inch trailer tire size like what you have like the Fulton part # F008583. I attached a picture that shows this fender installed on a trailer with a similar 13 inch tire size like you have.

I know you didn't ask for a tire recommendation but the difference between the two sizes you mentioned is that the D in the one size indicates it's a bias-ply tire and the R indicates it's a radial. It's not ideal to have two different tire constructions on a trailer as they handle a bit differently. Since radials are the preferred style it's best to swap all of them to the R style like with the Westlake part # LHWL101 which has a higher speed rating, great weight capacity, and a warranty that includes tire replacement!

I attached review videos for both items mentioned.
