Even 16.5? Lol. I m only getting 16.5 because I have 6 rims that I’m never gonna use and wagon wheels would look cool on a trailer
Yep, they were on the OEM 16.5 inch wheels.

I wasn’t referring to my tires. They are old, worn, large, heavy, wide, amd no doubt the weather checking and heat has caused the One to be on its last leg

his trailer that are 7x14.5 tires

I would expect them to be failure prone if they were still around in use ad he loaded his skid steer and tried driving that somewhere

I wasn't referring to your tires particularly either. Nor are all "trailer tires" the same. I was referring to, specifically, the OP's subject trailer which has light duty 15" wheels.
Also, add in UV damage to the equation. But in general, 15" & under light duty trailer tires are aged out by about 5 years. Less if subject to more UV or wear n tear, possibly more if stored inside and cared for.

I personally have these on my car trailer which hasn’t been used much but I must say they handle sitting and being in the sun very well.

they are also noticeably make pulling way less yanking on the vehicle because it now has 4 matching height tires instead of 2 and 2 oddballs… both opposite side amd axle… and the side wall I’m sure and he ply rating. (8)
