Hey Peter, for your 1971 Vintage with split rims you can use the Kenda Loadstar K364 Trailer Tire # AM10040. These tires are going to be direct replacements, will work with 9" x 4-1/2" rims and 9" x 4" rims, and has a max weight capacity of 1,298 lbs at 60 psi.

@Peter Hey Peter, check out the Steel Solid Center Trailer Wheel # AM20053. This wheel is 10" in diameter, 6" wide, and has a 5 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern.

@BryceD, Not sure if my e-mail went through last week but can you tell me if there is a tire that fits the rim (AM20053) that I can purchase as a complete set?

@Peter Peter, it does not look like it came through, but you can use the Kenda 6.90/6.00-9 Bias Trailer Tire with 9" White Wheel # KE52JR.
