We have just what you are looking for.

You will need a 206/65-10 tire and wheel combination which measures 20.5" tall and 8.3" wide making it an exact replacement for your current tire size.

For wheel and tire combinations with the 205/65-10 tire and a wheel with a 4 bolt pattern we have a few different options depending on the load rating you are looking for. The available options are as follows:

Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range B # AM3H330 which has a load rating of 910lbs at 35 PSI.

Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM3H370 which has a load rating of 1100lbs at 50 PSI.

Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range D # AM3H420 which has a load rating of 1330lbs at 70 PSI.

Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range E # AM3H460 which has a load rating of 1650lbs at 90 PSI.

To determine which load rating you need you will want to find the GVWR of your trailer which you can find on a sticker/plate on your trailer frame, and make sure that the combined weight capacity of the number of tires your trailer uses meets or exceeds the GVWR.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
