Answer might be in knowing the diameter of the tire and not so much the rim size. Sounds almost like selecting one that doesn't rub on your bikes chain guard ;)

You are right Dale, I had an issue with my 20' trailer; same numerical size tires, but the new ones were a bit wider than the old ones.
Turns out, it is a dead issue; the listing for the trailer I was looking at expired, and I lost contact with the seller....:(

The HiPoint PT14S, PT16, PT20, PT24, HP14S, HP16, HP20 and HP24 came from the factory with 14" tires.
Only the PT14, HP14 and HP18 are shown with 13 inch tires.
This information is from a 1999 HiPoint Trailer Owners Manual

I've had the same thing happen to me James. What I do now is write down the listings phone number. If it's not in the contact information, and I'm really interested, I email them, asking for the phone number. If a listing made it through the time period without selling, sometimes I've had luck calling them then.
