Hi Richard; that tire size is obsolete so they're no longer available. The modern equivalent is the 205/65-10 tire. You can choose from the following based on the load range/capacity you need:
-Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 205/65-10 - Load Range B # AM1HP50 (Max capacity 910 lbs)
-Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 205/65-10 - Load Range C # AM1HP52 (Max capacity 1,100 lbs)
-Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 205/65-10 - Load Range D # AM1HP54 (Max capacity 1,330 lbs)
-Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 205/65-10 - Load Range E # AM1HP56 (Max capacity 1,650 lbs)
These all fit 10" x 6" rims and have a section width of 8.3". The outer diameter varies slightly ranging from 20.4" - 20.8" depending on the load range so you can compare that to what you have now just be sure there will be enough clearance. Ideally you want 2" of clearance on the inside and 3" of clearance on top of the tire.

Hi Richard, how did the 205/65-10 tires work out on your 1977 Balko boat trailer? It’d be great to hear if the fit and clearance matched up as expected. Your update could make it easier for others replacing that older tire size.
