The wheel in your existing 20.5 x 8 - 10 wheel and tire combination is a 10 inch wheel with a 20.5 inch diameter and 8 inch wide tire, see link. This size is comparable to the metric size 205/65-10 trailer tire and wheel combination like the 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, # AM3H370.

You will need to determine the trailer's gross axle weight rating or the gross trailer weight of your trailer, loaded and ready to travel, to select the correct load range tire. In this size we have load range C tires, that have a capacity of 1,100 pounds, load range D tires that have a capacity of 1,330 pounds and load range E tires, that have a capacity of 1,650 pounds each. Add two tire capacities together to match your trailers axle capacity or gross weight.
