Expert Reply:
All of the tires we offer, including the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TTWTRTM2358016E, are tubeless tires and would not work with your split rims and tubes.
Split rims are a pretty old school design that is not used much anymore due to safety issues. If you can find a tire that will work with tubes but are unable to install the tire yourself it will be pretty hard to find a local shop that will be able to mount them for you, as most will not do it anymore.
The option I recommend is replacing the wheels with standard one-piece wheels which are much more common.
If you want to go this route just let me know the bolt pattern of your current wheels. You can find this by measuring your wheels following the included help article.
With your bolt pattern I will be able to recommend the correct wheels for your hubs.
I included a link to all of our 16" wheels for you to take a look at.
