For your Larson Bowrider Boat Trailer I highly strongly the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C - Gunmetal # LH84VR. This radial ply tire features a double steel belt construction with double polyester cords that allow for a longer lifespan and automotive-grade tread to improve traction on the road, especially during wet weather. The 14-inch aluminum wheel is completely resistant to rust and corrosion, so you don't have to worry about it breaking down as your launches start to add up.
The tire features a maximum load of 1,760 pounds at 50 psi and an excellent speed rating of 75 mph (most trailer tires are rated for 65 mph).
I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
