Question:
Looking for replacement tires for Echo EE-9-13 two place ATV trailer. Original bias replaced with radials. Would like to be able to exceed 65mph towing speed. Someone recommended looking for LT rated tires. ATV dry weights according to manufacturer specs: 784 lbs 733 lbs We rarely put anything else on the trailer no room except aluminum ramps and ATV mounted accessories. Can you please advise best solution?

Great news! I have just the tires you are looking for.
According to the link you provided your Echo EE-9-13 currently has 5 on 4-1/2 13 inch ST175-80D13 Bias Tires. You are correct that if you plan on doing lots of highway driving that radial tires are the way to go. The Taskmaster Tire and Wheel that would be a great 81 mph option for you is the # TA43RR.
This Radial Tire and Wheel Combination # TA43RR will carry 1,360lbs at 50psi, which will be more than enough for your trailer with two tires being rated at 2,720lbs.
If you just wanted the tire it's part # TTWTRTM1758013C.
I have linked the above recommended products to this page for your convenience.
