We travel with two cousins most of the time. One cousin has bias ply tires on his older 24' travel trailer. Other cousin has radials on his newer 26' travel trailer. Both have had flats over the years. The radials tear up everything around the wheel wells. The bias ply tires simply fly apart doing no damage to the trailer. A flat can happen due to road hazard, cheap Chinese tires, low pressure, age etc but the results are the same. A flat tire at 65~mph. U-haul has gone back to bias ply tires. Why do we run radials on our travel trailers? The damage caused by a radial when it comes apart makes me want to go with bias ply when the time comes. I've been lucky enough to spot the bulge in radials before hitting the interstate. Luck will run out one day.
