Replace the wheels and the tires. Your trailer came from a time when the manufacturers routinely specd tires on a trailer that could easily be overloaded. Recent RVIA guidelines have improved that but that doesn't help you. Your tires (OE LT size) and wheels max out at 3042 lbs. giving you a bit over 12k support in both the wheels and tires on a 14k+ trailer - no bueno IMO.

ST tires are built for the use/abuse on a travel trailer. Some folks like LT tires but they do not give the same support as an ST - they are each built for a particular purpose and fill specific, different needs.
