My old rims and tires are f78-14 on a 2000 lb. Boat trailer. Can you help me find the correct new rim and tire size? Prefer the galvanized rims.

The modern size equivalent for the tire size F78-14 is the size 205/75-14. So for this size on a galvanized wheel Taskmaster Mod Wheel and Tire part # AM3S450. What's great about the Taskmaster tires is that they are rated for higher speeds at 81 mph whereas most are only rated for 65.
The tire has a ply rating of 6 and a 1,760-lb max load at 50 psi as well.

My 3000lb boat has 30 year old F78-14 tires. Can I replace them with 12 or 13 tires and wheels to make the boat lower to the water?
