Expert Reply:

The tire size you listed isn't a common trailer tire size, it's most likely a passenger vehicle tire. On a trailer you should only use ST specialty trailer rated tires since they are designed for the vertical load associated with trailer.

The closest trailer tire size to what you have is the 205/75-14 like the part # AM1ST86. This size will be about 2 inches taller than what you currently have so you will need to make sure you have room for 1 inch less of fender clearance. I attached a review video for this tire for you to check out as well. This is the most inexpensive tire we carry in this size, see link below for price.

Also, you will want to replace all of your tires at once since you will be changing tire sizes.
