You are not going to be able to use the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel # AM32131 on the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G as it is too tall. Your trailer will come with 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 which is 20.7" tall and 4.9" wide. The 205/75R14 you are looking at is 26.3" tall and 8.1" wide. There is not enough vertical or side wall clearance for this large of a tire.

We do have the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C if you want the added benefit of the radial construction tire. These are the same size so you will not have to modify the trailer to fit a larger tire. With this trailer using slipper springs and the axle already below the leaf springs it will be difficult to lift the trailer.
