Trailer tires are confusing to me.

I have f65-14st tires and I understand that a replacement would be ST205/75-14. I only need tires for a on mile haul to the lake. What cheaper, easier to find tires do you recommend?

Do you have fenders? The replacement size is almost 2" taller so would be an inch closer to them. Also gotta check there's enough space between the two tires on the axles.

If they'll work, great. If not the next possible thing would just to be to go to a ST185/80R13 tire and wheel which is plentiful.
For tires, I usually order from Walmart for store delivery and just take the wheels in. They mount trailer tires for $5 apiece plus valve stems.

You want cheap? Go out and find a pair of 14" tires at a used tire store. The problem is that 14" tires are seldom (if ever) used on any modern vehicle--other than an old Ford Ranger truck, and they're hard to find.
I've found most pontoons to have 13" tires, however. If I was going new, I'd go with the Goodyear Endurance or Maxxis M8008's.
