The best replacement trailer tire option we offer for a 6.00-12 is a 145/80-12, the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10140 which has radial plies. It measures 21.3" diameter x 5.7" wide which should match up great to replace the existing. Unfortunately, there are no white wall options that we offer.
