Mixed Tire Types
We just bought a NTU travel trailer. I noticed that 3 of the tires are radials with one being bias. Is this a problem?

May *look* okay but you won't know how often he towed over 65 mph and/or under-inflated, hit numerous potholes and curbs, etc.
Remember, most all TT's are towed from the manufacturer to the dealer so you could say the same thing about a brand new unit picked up on the dealer lot. My tires have "Max 65PSI" printed on them and when I picked up the unit I checked them and they had 75PSI.
You are so right. If you live on the west coast, your brand new TT can have well over 2,000 miles on them and you have no idea how the driver treated them on the way out. It's not right if you ask me. It's possible it's a contributing factor to the blowouts that get reported here.
We followed a delivery guy out of Indiana in northern Ca. last month and he was doing well over 65 mph on the straights and we'd pull up to him on the curvy sections (they don't use WDHs) plus the road was pretty rough in spots. You can bet that there sole aim is to get to their destination asap in any way possible.
