I am needing to replace my tires on my 1969-70 K&S Hornet mini bike they are 2 PLY 125 / 4.50 -6 . They convert over to size 5.30 / 4.50 - 6 the original tires look like this. Any suggestions on what tires to get?

Not the same tread pattern but I use the Cheng Shin 5.3x4.5x6. They would look good on your bike.
Also if you add just a couple ounces of tire slime to your tube it will help with any slow leaking. I add it to all my tubes and squish it around before assembling the wheels.

I was going to suggest Coker Tire also. They sold me some nice new WW2 Jeep tires at a reasonable price and some 6 inch knobbies.
They are soft rubber tires, not the shiny smooth plastic looking stuff from China. Those Cheng Shins are superior to most China flat tires.
