The tire size you referenced "20-5x8.0-10" is the same as a 205/65-10. We currently have 4 tire option in this size. They are offered in a B-E load range. You will need to take the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your trailer and divide that by the number of tires on your trailer to determine the correct load range. I have listed the selection for you below.

Load Range B: part # AM1HP50 (910 lbs per tire)

Load Range C: part # AM1HP52 (1,100 lbs per tire)

Load Range D: part # AM1HP54 (1,330 lbs per tire)

Load Range E: part # AM1HP56 (1,650 lbs per tire)

All of the above tire options are made by Kenda and come with a 2-year warranty.
