Swapping Original Boat Trailer Tire For Something Similar

Question:

I have a single axle boat trailer and the sticker calls for P185/75B/14 tires. GVWR 2240. I can not find any trailer tires bias that size. Thanks

If you wanted to go with something similar you could get something like this ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3S334 as long as your bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2. If you're swapping both of them out I do not see an issue with swapping for a radial tire like # TR20514. If you have fenders you may see some rubbing with a larger tire on there but that may not be an issue. The stamp you see on your trailer is what the trailer originally came with although it's not always bad to swap for something similar.
