Radial or Bias Tires for Dual Axle Trailer?

Question:
I have a duel axle trailer and have been told not to run a radial tire but a bias. What do you say? Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
When it comes to choosing between a radial tire or bias tire the biggest factor is your trailer's application. Radial tires flex more than bias tires, so they will have more stability, traction and longer lasting tread; they are going to be a great choice if your trailer is used primarily on roads and highways.
Bias tires are going to be more beneficial to you for off-road or agricultural applications such as a farm because they run stiffer. I've added a link to each of our available radial tires and each of our available bias tires for you so you can pick the right one for your trailer.
