Subject: [NVC] help translate my trailer's tire size

> I've decided to dust off, clean, scrub, patch, and otherwise refurbish a
> cute little teardrop-shaped fiberglass covered trailer from the 60's
> that I use for occasional camping gear hauling. The tires are in poor
> shape and I could use some help locating inexpensive replacements. It's
> a light little thing and I don't need much in terms of load rating here,
> just basic tires. They are four-ply, and the size indicated on them is
> "5.90S13" which I gather is some vintage sizing nomenclature.
