Steve,
I agree with Rick Davis in his suggestion to trash the split
rim wheels and replace them. You might also want to consider used
take-off wheels from a wrecked Airstream but some recommend against the use
of used wheels.
I have bought trailer tires in the 700 x 15 size (original
equipment) from farm stores in my area as Rick suggested. I have also
purchased 700 x 15 Goodyear Workhorse light truck tires from SAM's Clubs by
special order (takes about one week to deliver at about $61 per tire) or from
Wal-Mart (about $0.50 higher price.)
My experience with SAM's clubs tires has been very
positive. Price your local Goodyear tire dealer first then price SAM's
prices. New tires I have purchased through SAM's were fresh from the mold
as determined by checking the DOT code molded in the tire sidewall. DOT
051 translates to molded during the fifth week of 2001.
