Kumho 857 has a good reputation. Find them on Tire Rack.
Otherwise you will be moving to 15" +
While I had no complaints with my current 205R75x14 GY Marathons it was time to get new tires and I decided to move to the Kuhmo 857's. Because of the current close tire spacing and Tor-Flex axles I needed to stick with 14" tires and with a diameter close to what I currently had so I decided on the 195R14 Load Range "D" Kuhmo tires. This required new rims, but now I will have tires with a 106mph speed rating with over 300lbs more capacity per tire and no need for hubcaps. I got the Kuhmos from tire rack for just over $500 w/shipping for 4 and 4 modular 20 Al. rims, valve stems, center caps and chrome lug nuts from Trailer-Wheels for just under $450. I typically have my trailer axles weighing between 6700 and 6900lbs and the Marathons total capacity was 7,040 and with the Kuhmos that will go up to 8,376 giving me a more comfortable load margin than I had before. In fact this increase in capacity was the major reason for changing to the Kuhmo's.

wondering why you had to change your rims if you already have 14's on your trailer
My current rims were limited to 50psi and the new tires are 65psi.
