Helpful Expert Reply:
The best size replacement we have for the old 6.50 x 13 tires on your trailer is a 175/80-13, the Karrier part # AM10199 for a radial option which is better for highway use or the Kenda part # AM1ST51 for a bias option which is better for off-road use. This new size is going to be about 0.6" larger in diameter and 0.3" larger in width. This will only translate to about .3" taller and .15" wider so you should not have any issues at all with this new size regarding clearance.
The above two tires both have a load range c (1,360 lb) rating and come with a two year warranty. The Karrier radial option has an 81 mph speed rating whereas the Kenda bias option is only 65 mph.
