Flagstaff E-Pro 19 FD Tires

Does anyone have a resource for where to purchase a tire other than Westlake? Having trouble finding the size and rim at a reasonable price.
Tire Info: ST235/75 R15. Rim is a five stud.
Thanks in advance. We just purchased the trailer and need to get a spare.

What do you consider a reasonable price?

So far we have found them to run around $300 a tire. Seems pretty steep.

One thing causing trouble is a 235/75x15 tire is generally rated for 2800 lbs plus which is six lug axle (5500 lbs and up) territory. Most folks selling mounted tires tend to use a six lug wheel. Buying a wheel and a tire separately is generally more expensive than a tire already mounted. If you do buy separately, keep in mind a 235 width tire needs a 6-8 inch wide wheel. 6.5 or 7 inch wheel is preferred. You might also consider looking on Facebook Marketplace or eBay for a mounted tire.

I will also add that in my experience tires are not something to shop for lowest price. The result of a blowout on a camper (especially if it is a single axle) can be catastrophic.

Thanks so much for this info. We are realizing the tires are unusual. Shame on Forest River! But thank you again for your insight.
