Helpful Expert Reply:
The Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" Black Wheel # AM3S451 can be used around salt water but we typically try and recommend a better option like the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel # AM3S450. The galvanized wheel is going to provide much better corrosion resistance with salt water than the black wheel you found. If you were to go with the black steel wheel I do recommend spraying the wheels off anytime it comes into contact with salt water to reduce the chances of the steel corroding from the salt.
The best option would be to go with an aluminum wheel and tire combination like the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel # LH84VR. The aluminum is going to last much longer than steel against the corrosive properties of the salt water.
