Question:
I am having trouble finding tires for my vintage camper. What will work?

If the tire itself fits on a 13 x 6 inch wheel then fit is going to be a problem. But to measure the width of a wheel you will take the tire off and measure from bead seat to bead seat. If that measurement is 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 inches wide then we will have some tires that will fit though the overall width may be wider than what you currently have.
The closest is going to be a 175/80-13. I have linked all the tires we have in this size. They will all fit a 13 inch wheel that is 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 inches wide. A 175 tire will be 6.895 inches wide so you have to make sure there is clearance all around the tire for that width. It will also be a total of 24.1 inches tall.
Check your old tires for any indication of size. If you see 78-13 then a 175/80-13 tire will fit. I have included a couple of links to tire FAQs for you.
