Needing new tires need suggestions
I have been shopping for tires for our camper it weighs about 7,000 lbs. and currently has 205/75R14 load range C. I was looking at the Trailer King II ST Radial is anyone using these? or have suggestions or comments on the tires you are using?

One of the most recent threads about tires for trailers.
Take a look and see if it helps.

Maxxis is a proven performer. I got them last year and very happy with them.

Goodyear Endurance
The size you need is what I have on my MicroLite 21DS. I got them at Discount Tire. It is one of the first sizes they started making this January. I love that they have a speed rating of 87 mph. I can now pass someone without worrying about my Chinese tires blowing. I can now carry 1200 more pounds in my trailer. (I don't but I can now put in a few extra items without worry)
I just took a 1420 mile trip to Phoenix and I have to admit that the peace of mind knowing I have good American made tires on the trailer made the cost well worth it.

I have Hankook RA08 tires on mine. Euro-metric size so you would take a 195R14. Very good tires that are solidly built. D rating and I think 104 mph speed rating. They've been updated to RA18 on their website.

Upgrade
Definitely upgrade to load range D. Gives you some insurance. My trailer weighs 4500 lbs. and came with load range C. After two blowouts on old tires, I upgraded to 215/70 R14. They are an inch larger diameter, but it made no difference.
Make sure whatever you buy is speed rated at 81 mph or higher. I shopped a long time to find 14" tires load range D rated that high. If you can get 87, even better.
I bought Taskmasters from etrailer. Love the tires after 1 year.

We have Trailer King II ST Radials 10 ply Load E but on a 15' wheel. I wanted to go Maxxis when we had a blow out on the original Westlakes at ~6000 miles but we were on the road in a small city and all they had were the Trailer King II's. Was just checking and we have gone over 7000 miles on them since Oct 2016 with no issues.

I did a lot of research and went with (4) Grand Ride load range "E" tires for $289.90 from Libra Trailer Parts in Tennessee. Don't forget to upgrade the valve stems to "E" when you get them mounted because "C"s are 50 PSI stems and "E"s are 80 PSI. It is difficult to find ST class tires at a reasonable price made in the USA. My tires were made in the Philippines according to the DOT codes. My Flagstaff Classic is 7,500 lbs. empty and 9,000 fully loaded. My original "C" rated "Trail Express" tires had leaks above the bead and were just able to handle the fully loaded 5er specs. Even though the "E" tires are not domestic, my logic is they give me more reserve then replacing the originals with "C"s.
