I looked up what tire size your trailer most likely came with since based on a 2018 Coachmen Chaparral and your 14k capacity and it looks like your tire size is 235/85-16 with a Load Range of F. That would be the highest Load Range we have in that size with a capacity of 4,400-lb max load at 110 psi like the part # TTWPRG235R16 that we have. Since you have a tandem axle that means you have a total tire capacity of 17,600 lb which would be more than enough.

What's great about the tire # TTWPRG235R16 also is that it has an 81 mph speed rating unlike most trailer tires which are only rated for 65.
