The Taskmaster 4.80R12 sized tire, part # TT48012C, not directional so it'll work great for a spare tire. You can use it on either side of your trailer.

This tire is rated up to 990 pounds at 90 psi. It's also speed rated up to 81 mph.

I've also linked some additional articles on trailer tires for you.
