The best way to pick out replacement tires for your trailer would be to determine what you current size is by checking out the trailer tire sidewall and then going with the highest Load Range tire we offer in that size. Most likely you have a 235/85R16 and the part # AM10501 would be your best option. This is a radial tire with a Load Range of F.
The main difference between a radial ply and a bias ply tire is how the tire is constructed. The cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, and the cords on a radial tire run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel, or across the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip.
A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear.
A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer.
