When determining the correct size tires to use on your trailer, you will want to make sure that the combined load capacity for the tires meets or exceeds the GVWR of the trailer. The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) refers to the most the trailer can weigh when fully loaded. This information should be stamped on the trailer either to the frame itself or with a tag/sticker. This along with fender and frame clearance will determine what tire size will work best.

Your best bet is to simply use a matching size to what is currently mounted. The tire size will be listed on the sidewall of the tire itself. If you can tell me this size I will be happy to make some specific recommendations. I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of trailer tires that you can look through along with a couple articles on trailer tires that you might find helpful.
