I have a 50s/60 Murray Ez-Step Two Step tricycle. The solid rubber front tire is cracked almost in half and needs to be replaced. I am having an extremely difficult time finding a replacement. Here are the measurements. Tire: 9.75"OD x 7"ID x 1.375width. The rim is 7"OD x 6.5"ID x 1.375"width. Any help finding a suitable replacement would be awesome. Thank you in advance. Mike

2I don't know the best approach here necessarily, but in the penny farthing restoration world one can buy solid tire rubber by the foot to cut and glue your own. I did some googling but was unable to find the material in that width however.– Nathan KnutsonCommented Jul 4, 2020 at 6:50

Do you want authenticity? If this bike is ridden, then a more-modern front wheel would give you a more comfortable ride and better braking. I'm wondering how small the wheel is though - a seven inch OD is smaller than a wheelchair castor. Check out sheldonbrown.com/rim-sizing.html for a list of somewhat "standard" sizes.– Criggie ♦Commented Jul 4, 2020 at 7:29
