The CProvider ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # TTWA14RWS are basically the similar wheel to what you referenced in your question. The load rating of C basically is a higher capacity than load range B tires. The ply rating will be a 6 versus a 4 so it will be a stronger sidewall for more durability. I rarely would recommend load range B tires unless they are on a very small and light trailer that the higher rating could impact. In most cases, load range C tires are a better option.

Although this is my recommendation, I have linked the page to all your options of this size tire with that load capacity and bolt pattern to assist.
