Expert Reply:
I recommend the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel # AM32195 for your boat trailer. The Tire # AM10229 has a radial construction which increases life when used on the highway. It is load rated for up to 1,870lbs per tire and has a speed rating of 81mph.
The Aluminum Wheel will resist corrosion better than coated steel wheels and since the aluminum is a better heat exchanger it will keep temps in the tire cooler and increase tread life. If you haven't upgraded to Stainless Steel Lug Nuts # KALN1375S already this is a great time to do so.
