Coker Tire lists 700-20 as available in highway tread pattern. https://www.cokertire.com/tires/fire...ad-761401.html Not all trailed equipment got cross country tires. They didn't need driving traction and highway tires used less rubber.
If Coker has them the other usual suspects will too - Universal, Wallace Wade, Summit - whoever offers the best total deal on tir, tube, flap, shipping, etc.

Although I know it never happens here on MLU, but I'll sidetrack for a minute to say that I believe Wallace Wade Tires is no more. Wallace passed a couple years ago and a google search shows the company is no more and the warehouse is for sale. Derk Derin and myself both have humorous memories of dealing with Wallace at some of the MVPA conventions. He was a tire man to the end.

Thanks for the update - one less distributor. It was from WW that the Hammond crew sourced our buy of 10.50x16 tires and that did work out well.

You mentioned Summit who are my go to guys for the vintage tires these days. They offer free shipping to the border, which works out well. At least it will when the border opens. Their price is $367 Canadian shipped.

The farm implement tires, if cheaper, might well be the way to go since you are unlikely to be towing this configuration down the highway. I can't speak to the relative lifespan(weathercracking) of an implement tire vs a highway tire though.

With absolutely no actual data to go on, I suspect the rubber on a "working" farm tire might be better formulated to resist UV and weather than a "collector" tire.
