There are really only two standard trailer tire sizes for 15" wheels, 205/75-15 and 225/75-15 with the latter being the taller option (28.4" diameter x 8.9" wide vs. 27.3" diameter x 8.1" wide). I recommend the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10256 for this which is a radial tire with load range d rating. It will be almost an inch taller than a 205/75-15.
