Trailer manufacturers purchase a lot of tires obviously and Trailer King is a large supplier of those. I can only assume the manufacturer gets a deal on the tires but I'd say it's a pretty safe assumption.

The 205/75 R14 Karrier tire with load range D is # AM10235 for the tire alone. Increasing the load range isn't really necessary on your trailer. Four load range C tires like the Taskmaster # TR20514 have plenty of weight capacity for you. You have to keep in mind that some of the trailer's weight is on the hitch and therefore on the tow vehicle's rear axle and not the trailer's.

I recommend the Taskmaster because they're a great highway tire rated up to 81 mph. They have a load capacity of 1,760 pounds at 50 psi. You always want to inflate trailer tires to their maximum psi when they're cold.
