I may have a solution for you, but we do not currently have any replacement parts designed specifically for the Reese SportWing, as it was discontinued a few years back. With that said, you might be able to use the Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Let's Go Aero VRack, BikeWing, or Rack-IT Bike Carriers # BMP038 to replace your straps, which would allow you to carry fat tire bikes on your SportWing.
The hole on the end that connects to the rack is going to be 3/8" in diameter, while the holes that would be used to secure the bike measure 1/2" in diameter. You'll want to get some rough measurements of the hole size on your current straps to make sure they will fit, but as long as they're close to those dimensions you'll be able to make them work.
