Since the highest load range we offer for the 215/75R14 tire size is Load Range C the best option would be to go with a Load Range D 205/75R14 like # AM10235. This tire has a capacity of 2,040 lbs when inflated to 65 psi. You will want to determine what the weight of your trailer to be certain this tire would have enough capacity.

The highest rated 215/75R14 tire we offer is the # AM10229. This tire has a 1,870 lb rating when inflated to 50 psi. If you find that this tire would have enough capacity as well it would work too.

Special trailer tires should be inflated to their maximum air pressure. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat up and cause the tire to fail.

I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
