Hello Everyone,
New guy here, so I apologize if this post is in the wrong place. I recently picked up a Bantam trailer and will be starting a small scale build on it very soon. First thing is first though.... I need to pull it to the build location. That being said, I'm not convinced the tires on it will make it and want to buy new ones.
I pulled the wheels and took them to several tire shops.... all of whom said they have no idea. The tire size marked it 6.50-16 and I'm having a hard time finding a modern equivalent. I've also been looking for what I believe to be period correct Firestone tires on cokertire.com. There are several choices in sizes as well as the option to add tubes.
What I need help with is either:
1) finding something relatively inexpensive that I can toss on the wheels right away to transport
or
2) finding the right size Firestone tire and figuring out if I need a tube for it (along with what size tube).
Thanks anyone in advance that can help me out.... it's a little daunting learning some of this stuff.
