1970’s Chieftain Tube Type Tire Conundrum

[Retro]

Hello

Attempting to get a 1970’s Chieftain back on the road.

Tires seem to be the first hurdle that I need to overcome.

Currently has well wore(out) 7.50 r 17 Tube Type which, from my understanding, no longer in production.

What options do I have to get things rolling again?

Is there a modern tubeless replacement?

Are there replacement rims with matching bolt pattern?

Will this require axle replacement?

We don’t have many members with experience with 50+ year old RVs even if they are Winnebagos.

I’d start looking for Vintage RV forums and see what others say. Also, try the largest and oldest RV forums. Certainly www.irv2.com and www.rv.net

Les Schwab will work on Split Rim tires, or at least they did at one time.
I only changed a couple of split rims back in the day. After they are changed, they must be inflated inside a cage!
