The 1959 Spartan Carousel has a weight of 12,400 lbs dry weight originally based on my research but I can't find any information on tire size. I have seen similar Spartan triple axle trailers with 16 inch wheels where the bolt pattern is consistently the 6 on 5-1/2 inches.
My recommendation for you based on what I know is the Kenda ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Black Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range E # AM34834 which are rated for 3,500 lbs at 90 psi and come with a 5-year/1-year Worry Free Guarantee on the tire and a 1- year warranty on the wheel. These wheels have a 4.27 inch pilot hole and the tires are rated for speeds up to 81 mph.
I've attached an article so you can confirm the bolt pattern and pilot hole size as well as the wheel size. If you have more information about the wheel size or bolt pattern I'm happy to give a recommendation based on further information.
