Finishing restoring this vintage camper. Old tires were Carlyle 18.5x8.5x8 N78. What tire with rim 4bolt would you recommend?

You've actually found the right part with the # AM3H290, as those will be the best replacement for your 18.5 x 8.5 x 8.5 N78 tires on 4 on 4 wheels. These have been used as replacements for a similar Apache Mesa trailer, as you've seen, and I think they're going to be the best solution. These tires have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, are rated for up to 65mph and have a capacity of 940-lbs per tire.

I've linked a review video of this combo tire/wheel for you to have a look at, as well.
