Go to a tire store. They'll have a better idea what you need and greater options.
Depending on the type of rim, they may be tough to balance a the tire store. Have found that some wheel assemblies on house trailer wheels are not well balanced either, which a store-balanced tire won't affect either.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
