An 18-8.0x10 is not a tire size I am familiar with. I believe it is indicating an 18 inch tall tire, 8 inches wide, on a 10 inch wheel. The closest match we have is a 205/50-10 which will be 7.7 inches wide, 18.3 inches tall, and fits a 10 x 6 inch wheel. Tire # AM40406 is the only one in this size we carry but it is rated for 665 pounds at 30 psi (295 kilograms).

The next closest match is a 206/65-10 which will be 8.4 inches wide and 20.4 inches tall and it fits a 10 x 6 inch wheel. Tire # AM1HP56 is rated for 1,650 pounds at 90 psi (748 kilograms).
