The closest metric tire size to your C78-13ST Sport Trax tires is 185/80D13. The tire that I recommend using is the Kenda Loadstar ST185/80D13, # AM1ST79. This is a Load Range D tire that is rated at 1,725 lbs at 65 psi. This tire will fit 13 inch wheels that are 4-1/2 inches, 5 inches or 5-1/2 inches wide.

At this time we do not carry a load range C tire in this size. Keep in mind, increasing the weight capacity of the tires will not increase the carrying capacity of the trailer.
