It might be worth checking out the E-Tyres website as the have a section on tyres suitable for caravans, even if youdon't buy from them its a useful resource. Sometimes you can find a local dealer that has a caravanner on the staff but otherwise info can be hard to come by.

175R13C come with two different load index rating 94 (6ply) and 97 (8ply).
94 is 1340kg max, but better closer to 1210kg for caravan use and 97 1460kg or 1315kg for caravans.

10% lower load figures are recommended by the tyre industry to allow for caravans standing doing nothing most of their lives, rather than being used every day like white vans are.

I would ask your local independent tyre guy, mine can get any tyre within an hour or two, they are also likely to be cheaper!
And make sure you ask for them to be balanced!
