At my son's school, one of the wagons that the band uses for equipment
had a tire that was destroyed (13" x 5"). I offered to get a new tire
and replace it. The only store that has a good selection of those
sorts of tires is Harbor Freight and they have a big problem keeping
them in stock.

You have to buy a whole wheel, tire and tube, to get the tire, though
it was less than $10 with one of the ubiquitous 20% off coupons. Then
I had to struggle to get the tire off the Harbor Freight wheel. The
wheel on the wagon has a split rim and it was easy to replace.

Is there any place to buy just wagon tires for less? Seems ridiculous
to have to buy a wheel every time you need just a tire, and throw the
wheel away. I did a lot of Googling but could not find a source.

Uh, the nearest tire store that says they do industrial and farm tires?
(IOW, not a Discount Tire/BelleTire type of place). Do you still get
hardcopy phone books in your town? 5 minutes and a couple of phone calls
would probably have found what you need. They will even install for a
few bucks. Usually not expensive at all. I haven't seen a town yet
without a tire store like that within 20 miles.
