How Many Miles and How Long Will My Goodyear Tires Last
Question:
How many miles can I expect to get on these tires running on a 26foot dual axle Travel Trailer with a max weight of about 6K #?

Since trailer tires are built with a thicker side wall they are designed to take a heavier load so they don't really have a mileage rating. Most trailer tires last 5-6 years before they should be replaced. However, there a few reasons for failure.
Heat buildup is the leading reason for blow outs so it is a good idea to keep your trailer under the weight capacity of the tires. Overloaded tires allow for heat build up which leads to blow outs.
Most tires require they be filled to max PSI at all times regardless of the load weight. but it looks you have Goodyear tires which can be inflated to a certain PSI per load weight. I have attached that chart for your reference, I recommend to make sure you are inflating them to the proper PSI.
The sun is another reason for early tire deterioration. If you put your trailer in storage, I recommend to use the Adco Tyre Gard RV Wheel Cover - Double Axle - 27" to 29" Diameter part # 290-3923 to keep the ST205/75R14 tires protected in storage.
If your trailer has leaf spring suspension you can also use TrailerLegs Tire Saver Stands part # 326-TRLLG-4 which is going to lift the trailer off of the tires to avoid flat spots from sitting in one spot too long which leads to uneven tire wear.
