You are definitely doing the right thing by changing out passenger car tires and putting trailer tires on your trailer. Trailer tires have a sidewall that is a little more rigid and so they can handle the weight of trailers and their cargo much better than passenger car tires can.

I do have a recommendation for you, but we do not carry any trailer tires in the 205/60-15 or 205/65-15 size.

The trailer tire that we have closest to your 185-65-15 tire size is 205/75-15. A tire this size will be about 1 inch wider, and about 3 inches bigger in diameter than your current tires. You will want to do some measuring to ensure that they will fit properly.

I have linked our selection of tires and tires with wheels of this size for you to filter through. If you choose one with a wheel you will want to use the attached article to make sure that it has the same bolt pattern that you currently have.

Among the available selection I recommend going with the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # LHAW121 which has a Load Range D (2,150 lbs at 65 psi), and a 75 mph speed rating, and the wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This tire comes with a 5-year warranty and the wheel has a 1-year warranty.

I have attached a review video for you to check out.
