bias ply tires
It appears that the R-Vision I bought, has Bias ply tires. Should I go back with those or Radials. Thanks Jim

My trailer rolled on OEM chinese bias ply tires for 5 years, until they wore out. I replaced them this past summer with chinese radials. I do like the radials better, but not so much that I would ditch the new tires that come with a trailer.
In terms of brands - I'm firmly of the opinion that if the weight on EACH TIRE is under the tires' rating (yes, this does vary depending on how the weight of the trailer is distributed and how level the trailer is front-to-back while being towed), and your speed is below the max speed rating of the tires, and you keep the tires properly inflated, and you don't run over something that punctures them, they're not likely to fail regardless of brand.
Good point. I found out by personal observation when I completed my 8,000mile-8 month towing trip around the U.S.A. that easily 75% plus of those that haul Trailers, Toyhaulers, etc. speed past the limit of ST tires. It doesn't take a great leap of faith to see why the failures happen. And then they post on here......
