first determine which wheels you have either
5.5x16 small lock ring uses 7.50x16 tires
or
6.5x16 large lock ring uses 9.00x16 tires
check Paul Cooks paper on the BEST of the Forum (link at top of page)
as Paul posted Universal tire is a good source of vintage military tires along with the tubes & flaps required
do not go with any "modern sized" tires as they do not fit Power Wagon wheels correctly
a 900x16 is really a 900/100x16 which means it has an aspect ration hight to width of 100% 9in wide 9in high or 18in tire height along with the 16in hole in center = 34in OD
if you have the small wheels and want to use
9.00x16 tires you will need to get a set of the wider 6.5in wheels
also find a HD truck or AG tire shop to do the dismount & mount/balance for you
