Hi Bruce,

We have a couple options to replace your 145R12 tire and wheel, it just depends on the type of wheel you want. We have either a white spoke wheel or galvanized wheel, so I'll go ahead and give you the options for both:

- Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM31199DX

- Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM31202
