To replace the ST175/80D13 tires on your 2011 Little Guy I strongly recommend the Provider # TTWTRTM1758013C.
This radial ply tire is going to provide a substantial upgrade over your existing bias units (as indicated by the "D" in your tire size listing), especially for highway applications. A radial tire features cords that run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel compared to a 32 degree angle on a bias alternative. This essentially allows a radial to flex more - giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and most importantly leaves you with a tire that runs cooler which is especially beneficial as the speeds pick up on longer road trips. The most common cause for trailer tire failure is excessive heat so the cooler you can keep the tires the better.
This particular Provider tire also has automotive-grade tread that does really well in wet weather. It features a maximum load of 1,360 pounds at 50 psi and an excellent speed rating of 81 mph. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
