Helpful Expert Reply:
205/65R15 is not a standard trailer tire size so I wouldn't recommend that for use with a trailer. The tire size should start with the letters ST which stands for "special tire."
The closest tire size to what you are looking at that would work well is the ST205/75-15 like part # TTWTRTM2057515C which would work well. This has a higher than normal speed rating for trailer tires as well at 81 mph instead of 65 mph.
We don't have access to original equipment info for your trailer, but if you can find the plate that has the VIN and axle capacities the original tire size should be listed there.
