As a last resort you could use a ST205/75/R14 part # AM1ST86. I would strongly recommend going to a tire shop and getting your damaged tire replaced, or to just purchase a new one to the correct size that you're already using, as soon as possible. While using different tire sizes, it will make it to where you will have uneven tire wear on all your tires currently in use, and also lower the load capacity, and with # AM1ST86 being a Bias tire it wouldn't be good mix with a Radial tire.

Hey Eric, It's pretty normal to go up a load range if you're feeling like the trailer is being overloaded since tire wear and capacity go hand in hand. It's ok to have some extra capacity when it comes to the wheels, however, going with…

Hey Scott, so there is a difference between those tires. The Kenda K558 part #AM1ST52 is a bias ply tire and the part #KE88KV is a radial. Radials are generally preferred as they have a more stable construction that just does better on the highway.…
