The best replacement option we have for a 135/80-13 trailer tire is a 175/80-13 which is about 2.5" larger in diameter and 1.6" larger in width. That said, you'd only need to account for about half of this on either side of the tire. This is the closest size replacement option we offer so it's your best bet for a modern equivalent. I recommend the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C part # TTWTRTM1758013C for this which has radial plies that are designed for highway use and an 81 mph speed rating. It will work great with your existing wheel.

Radial tires are generally preferred over bias ply tires. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when…

I've scoured my site and the internet and I can't find a tire size 175/75r13. The closest is going to be the Westlake ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire part #LHWL101. If it existed the 175/75r13 would be about 23 3/8" where the 175/80r13…
