Hi, Jim and welcome to Maple Leaf Up.
Much has been written on 9.00-13 tyres, but little has been found in the way of a suitable new replacement product. I'm afraid you're limited to scouring swapmeets for usable 2nd hand tyres, or settling for modern styles with ATV or agricultural tread patterns! Read up on the subject here.

Dirk Leegwater still has tires posted on his site. I think the shipping would be prohibitive though. Tires are near the bottom of this page.

One possible avenue is 9.50x13 aircraft tires. There's no tread but they're about 12 ply tires. I have a line on some used ones that I'm going to try on my C8. The lack of tread won't be an issue at the speeds involved.

Caution about using aircraft tires
Quote:
In other words, they may be rated to carry a much heavier load than a 8cwt at higher speeds than any CMP can hope to achieve and still fail from heat stress after a short/slow drive (by vehicle standards).
