It sounds like you have some really old tires on your trailer. Tire sizing, like 735-14, was used mostly in the late 60's and early 70's.

The closest size trailer tire we carry to that is 205/75-14. Compared to your tire it's about a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch wider but about an inch smaller in diameter. You just need to make sure there's at least an inch or two between the tire's sidewall and any part of the trailer to handle the wider size.

I recommend our Taskmaster, part # TR20514. It's a radial tire that has a maximum capacity of 1,760 pounds at 50 psi and an 81 mph speed rating.
