Radials vs. Bias ply
What does everyone prefer.
Thanks

I'm agonizing over this myself. Based my my internet research, it seems that there isn't a reliable 14" trailer tire made today. I have some Titan radial trailer tires now, but they're 10 years old, and not made anymore.
I'm looking at a higher load-rated 15" radial passenger car , in spite of what everyone says about not using them. Of course, that will require new wheels also...
Be interesting to hear what suggestions people have.

I like the Maxxis trailer radials. My neighbor was needing new tires for his car trailer, I called a friend in the business and he recommended these.
About $105 a tire and seem like nice quality, he has about 15 trips on them with excellent wear so far.
They are radial tires, so balancing them was a must.

IMHO, the ones made these days are all Chinese, substandard crap.

195/60 r15 max load per tire is 1235 lbs. I'd say just make sure the tires can support the load.

I've been thinking about running 15 "bfg ko's they should last a long time and can handle the weight. They run 115 each at wheel warehouse in Anaheim.
