The 175/80R13 size tires that we have with a speed rating M (81 mph) all come from Taskmaster. The most popular one that we carry is the Provider # TTWTRTM1758013C due to the treads pattern on it. This tire has a Load Range of C (1,360 lbs at 50 psi) so you will want to check your current Load Range capacity or just make sure that two tires will have a sufficient weight capacity (2,720 lbs) for your trailer.

Keep in mind that in order to get the max life out of your trailer tires you will want to keep them inflated to the proper psi rating from the manufacturer, you must stay within the weight capacity, and you do not want to exceed the speed rating for them.
