For the Dexstar Conventional wheels # AM20766 you referenced, I recommend using the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10295. This is a really nice quality radial tire that will give you a high load range and great traction especially on highway driving. You will also need a valve stem and I recommend the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long - Over 100 psi, # AM20906. This combination will offer great results without any tubes in the tire.

Do you see the three raised bumps on the center circle section of your wheel? That's where a baby moon like the part #AM90086 fits over. You need to measure that diameter. If it's right at 9-1/4 inch this cover is what you'd need.
