Sorry to hear about your tire - it's never fun dealing with a flat, especially when it's proving difficult to get it fixed. If the wheels are damaged enough that a tire can't be seated properly then I recommend at least getting new wheels if not getting new wheels and tires depending on the shape of your tires (and whether you trust them still since they're the same kind you got from Amazon).
For your application I recommend replacing your tire and wheels with the Contender ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Vesper White Mod Wheel # TA63RR. This tire is a load range C (1,360 lbs at 50 psi) with an 81 mph speed rating and the wheel has the standard 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. The best part of this combination though is the 2-Year Platinum Plus warranty.
This warranty includes complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years so if you ever have a flat tire you can call to have it serviced 24/7 so a qualified technician can change the tire for you instead of you having to be the one on the side of the road changing out the spare.
Attached is a review video for you to check out.
