Default Tyre Size on Trailer

Have Trailer, with road tyres, wanted to put some A/T tyres, just for the added puncture resistance. Do any tyre manufacturers make on small enough:

175/65R14

I'll keep looking, but thought somebody on here might know.

Not much around in 14" to suit your needs.

Light truck tyre with I think - old desert dueller pattern - at
Frank Cross Tyres ( Dubbo ). Bob Jane had something too. Also, a limited numbers of retreads are available ( if you trust them ) in style you want.

Nuther option is jeep rims and recycle your veh tyres for a few more miles.
