The 7.00-15LT size that you referenced is no longer used, but we do have replacement options.

You would to switch to a more modern size with better options to choose from then you can go to a 225/75-15 which is around 1.1" smaller in diameter but 1.1" larger in width.

For this, I recommend the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10303. The main difference between this and the tire you have now is the varying weight capacity rated for up to 2,830 lbs per tire that will offer you the best possible ride and an 81 mph speed rating.
