Recommendation to Replace 205/65R14 Tires on Boat Trailer
Question:
Does anyone carry this size? I have a tracker boat trailer with this size tire.

We do not have any 205/65R14 size tires that you mentioned available but we do have a large selection of the similarly sized 205/75R14 trailer tires. Doing a brief search online the 205/65R14 tires currently on your trailer do seem to be a pretty rare size and they are likely passenger vehicle tires. It is important that only special trailer tires (indicated by the "ST" in front of the size) are used on a trailer as they feature a stronger sidewall that's better suited for the type of weight they need to support.
Because of this I recommend simply replacing the tires on your boat trailer with the ST205/75R14 size, which will feature the same diameter/height as what you currently have but will be just about 1.6 inches wider. I specifically recommend the Kenda Karrier # AM10235 that features a radial ply construction for better highway performance, a load capacity of 2,200 pounds at 75 psi, and an excellent speed rating of 81 mph.
I have attached a short video review on this tire that you can check out as well.
