Hi Caliban, try the site tire size.com I think you may be able to source what you are looking for there.The size you quote is obviously an old imperial size.The 6 represents 6 inches 50 is the percentage of profile followed by the rim size in inches.It looks like later model coasters have wider rims. Perhaps there is a coaster forum or group you could contact for information exchange.

That is not correct.

6.50 R 16 means the tyre is 6 1/2"wide. It is a radial tyre with a 100% profile and fits a 16"rim. This is an imperial size.

It is likely that a 7.00R16 may be OK and there are likely to be metric sizes that will suit as well.

Try Michelin.

Cheers,

Peter
