The tire size designation H78-14 is comparable to the current metric size 215/75-14 and all ten of our tires and tire/wheel combination products in this size appear on the page I linked for you. Tires of size 215/75-14 have an overall diameter of about 26-1/2-inches and a width of 8-1/2-inches.

In your size we offer both radial type tires that are better for highway driving and bias ply tires that are better for rough roads or off-road use. These tires also come in two load ranges, C and D, that have different weight ratings. Choose tires to match the trailer's GVWR.

For a radial tire-only in Load Range D please take a look at the Provider trailer tire # TTWTRTM2157514D. This special trailer tire can handle up to 2200-lbs at its rated inflation pressure of 65-psi and it is rated for use up to 81-mph.

Two helpful articles on trailer tires are included for you too.
