A bit more to add to the earlier discussions.That wheel hasn't been made in probably 40 years.It is almost impossible to find someone to fix a flat.Some (farm) tire shops will still service them.Our's is one of them.However,the truck must be present.The wheel is first deflated. Only then is the wheel removed from the truck.After repair,the wheel is put (still deflated)on either front or rear inside dual.If it blows,it blows to the inside.If it blows,it can/will damage the truck.Some times severely.They use a locking chuck and a 10ft 'whip' with an in hose gauge.They will not even repair one to taken to the farm to be mounted/inflated by the farmer. The truck must be present.I'm pretty sure they will refuse to put a new tire on one of those wheels.You can however,scour junk yards for the other type wheels.There tubeless rims that will fit the old bolt patterns.They accept the newer tubless tires.11x22.5 or the 19.5 low profile tire.There are alternatives to the 'widow maker' wheel.They are named that for a very good/accurate reason!I still have two widow makers on the place.they are on the steering axle.As SOON as the tires are worn out or need to be serviced(flat),they are comming off.To be replaced a pair of common lock rings from a '78Chevy C50.When the wheels are replaced,cut them up so no one can use them or get hurt.
