Tailwheel tires

Might not be a good idea. I checked around a bit, and, according to the Chief
Aircraft web site, McCreary has changed names to "Specialty Tires of America".
This sounds suspiciously like the "STA" you're buying now.

That's them, all right. See what I mean? Everyone selling the same
tire under their own part numbers.
Going to have find out if the Kenda is actually Kenda or just STA
again. And whether it's certified or just for homebuilts. I bet I
could get just as good service out of a handcart tire as I do from
these things we have now.

I'll betcha Kenda is Kenda or STA is Kenda. Kenda is a massive
Chinese tire manufacturer.

Well, I wouldn't want to name names, but I know a guy who blew out a tailwheel
tube and ran one from a lawn tractor for a few weeks until he could get an
aviation tube. Worked just fine.
