Replacement Tire Recommendation for 14" Wheels to Replace B78-13 Size Tires
Question:
I have a B78-13 on my trailer now. I got some free 14inch rims. What tire would still work on the 14s?

Expert Reply:
Your B78-13 tires were designed to fit on 13" wheels. Since you are wanting to use 14" wheels you will need to go with a larger size tire as well.
For your application I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 # AM10234. This will be a little over 1" wider than your current tire and be about 2" larger in diameter as well. I like this tire because it is a cost-effective option that has a lead range C (1,925 lbs at 60 psi), a max speed rating of 81 mph, and comes with a 2-year limited warranty.
As long as you have enough room for the slightly larger tire it will fit and work well for your cost-effective rims.
