The replacement they sold me (which they will refund) doesn't fit in the allocated space when fully inflated. Any ideas on where to get a new one of these tires? I searched online, but can't find anyone that has one.

P.S. I searched the forums first, but could only find entire spares for sale, some with tires as old as mine.

What size was the replacement they sold you? Was it this tire?
