Does any one have any old 6.00-16 tires lying around ? reason is I have this real old wagon which have this size tires on but they are rotted bad, I need 4 total the tread is no big deal as long as the tires are not rotted out, so I can just move this wagon around, not going to load anything on it or anything just to move it around the farm.

Thanks !

might be easire to find some truck tires , 7.50 X 16 or so than those early 6.00 X 16 tires.

Other thing might be to find rims and tires in 15" size

I think 6-16 (rim width designation) changed to 6.50 or 6.70-16 when the width designation went to the maximum tire width. They will be bigger but many a pickup with 16" rims used things like 215 R 16 through 245R 16 and there are many of those lying about. I'm sure I have a couple sets in the barn waiting for hay rack use that's not going to happen. Taken off because of too many cracks for safe road use.

I've not found used car tires on machinery to last well, especially outside. They are only expected to last 5 years and sometime after that they literally fall apart.
