The Kenda ST205/75D15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32238B is a compatible replacement but is not exactly the same as your 700-14.5 tires and wheels. This is the only combination wheel and tire we currently have available and it has a 27.3125 inch outer diameter and is 8 inches wide. I don't recommend mixing tire, types and sizes, so you would need to replace all and spare if you choose to go this route.

If you want to make your own combination, I recommend the Taskmaster Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TR225LRE. This is obviously a radial tire from the description which will give you better heat dissipation for highway travel. It also has a higher load capacity rating and a speed rating of 81 mph max.

For your wheels I recommend the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim -White # 560545WM1 for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or the 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - White # TA85FR for the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. We have many other styles available in these bolt patterns and I've linked a page to your options.
