I have the perfect trailer tire upgrade for you in the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10210 which checks all your boxes. For starters, the tire has a speed rating of M which will allow for a speed up to 81 mphs to be traveled safely. It has radial plies so it's best used on the highway and will run cooler while doing so. It also has a load range D rating which is suited for use up to 1,650 lbs per tire. Please note, it can sometimes be more cost effective to go with a new wheel/tire combo than to have the old tire removed and the new one installed so in which case I'd recommend the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel part # AM31985 which has the same time mentioned above.
