I contacted ShoreLand'r Trailer for the original wheel and tire size supplied on your trailer model B16750-12. My contact there was able to find some data on this 1988 trailer.

He indicated that the original tire size was either a 4.80-8 or a 4.80-12 with a 5-on 4-1/2-inch wheel bolt pattern, such as 4.80-8 # AM30060 or one of the 4.80-12 items shown on the linked page, such as # AM30670. This 4.80-12 wheel/tire includes a galvanized steel wheel with the popular 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern mated to a Load Range C bias ply tire. This combination can handle a total load of 990-lbs at the rated pressure of 90-psi. He also noted the original carrying capacity for this trailer was 750-lbs.

In the 4.80-12 size we offer both bias ply and radial tire options, both B and C load ranges and choices in the finish of the wheel. You can refer to the two linked articles for more helpful general information on trailer tires.

If you have another specific question I can help with please feel free to email back.

I wasn't able to track this info down. Are you able to read the size off one of the existing tires? It should be stamped right onto the tire's side wall.
