Radial vs. Bias ply trailer tires.

NOT FOR A CAMPER!!
I'm shopping for a TA enclosed trailer and most of what I'm looking at come with bias tires with a radial upgrade. I've never ran a bias on any of my trailers, so I don't know the pros-cons about them.

Trailer will be a tandem 7x14-16 loaded lightly. Is a trailer like this OK to run a bias tire? I can upgrade to a cheap radial for 30/tire.
  • Not being a tire engineer, I can only relate to what I've read.

    Radial tires roll easier, saving fuel, run cooler for longevity, and track truer when on a trailer.

    I have a 7x23 enclosed that came with GY marathon radials. They have served me well.
