Expert Reply:
What you have there is a car tire. The P in front of the tire size indicates that this type of tire is used for passenger vehicles. You do not want to use car tires on a trailer. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall compared to car tires so that the trailer tire can handle vertical load better.
I can tell by the picture though that you have a trailer wheel so all you need is a proper trailer tire. Trailer tires start with ST in front of the size. It stands for special trailer. It looks like you should be using 205/75-14 tires. I have included a link to the tires that we carry in that size.
If you do not know the capacity you need I recommend going with the highest in this size, # AM10235, rated for 2,040 pounds at 65 psi.
