For a triple-axle boat trailer whose GVW is around 13,000-lbs the load on each of your 6 tires will be about 2166-lbs. In your trailer tire size ST205/75R14 the highest-rated tire we offer is a Load Range D tire # AM10235 which can handle 2040-lbs.
In the slightly wider tire size ST215/75R14 we have a Load Range D tire # TTWTRTM2157514D which is rated for 2200-lbs maximum load and a speed maximum of 81-mph. This wider tire will fit on several of the same wheel sizes as the 205 size tire does. Those compatible wheel sizes are 14 x 5-1/2, 14 x 6 and 14 x 6-1/2-inches.
To keep your trailer tires in good shape always 1) maintain them at the full psi pressure noted on the tire sidewall; 2) observe the tire's rated speed limit; 3) avoid overloading the tires beyond their rated load capacity.
