Those Marathons must be old as Goodyear hasn't made a B load range Marathon in many years. What is your trailers GVWR GVWR ??
The old B load range tire had capacities comparabile to a P tire so IMO you sure don't need a D or especially a E tire.
The D tire requires a 65 psi rated wheel.
The E tire requires a 80 psi rated wheel.
A ST 205/75-14 C has 1760 lbs of capacity times four = 7000 lbs.
I'm guessing but your B tires at 35 psi may have approx 1500 lbs capacity per tire times four = 6000 lbs.
IMO a C would be a good upgrade if the present wheels have the load and pressure needs.
I'm sure these tires are as old as the camper (2005) gvwr. is 5800#.
i just looked on the inside of one of the rims, it says: 14x5.5 max load 1430#. So does this mean that i need new rims to if i get the Kuhmo's
