The 75R in the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel # AM32161 is in reference to the radial construction of the tire. It is the load range D (2,200lbs). Also it is a good idea to confirm that you have the 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern on your trailer.

For the 2nd trailer we have the Kenda Loadstar 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel in a Load Range C # AM30820 or Load Range D # AM30859. These wheels will both have the same 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern as the previous wheels for the first trailer.

I have linked an article below that will help with measuring lug pattern on different trailer hubs. If your hubs are the 5 on 4-1/2" pattern they will be 2-5/8" from center of one wheel stud to the center of the next closest wheel stud. If you have something different on either trailer please let me know what measurement you have.
