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?

I'm well aware of replacing tires before they wear out, but I am trying to learn more about the various tire issues to look out for and your reply didn't provide any useful information.
How novel :R ... you're criticizing darsben for providing the most important information about trailer tires that you or any RV owner needs to know - the fact that it's the age of the tire (as determined by it's manufacturing date code) that's most important, not whether they've yet "worn out" or even whether they may be mismatched. Clearly you aren't as "well aware" as you think you are. :S
Are you implying that if the tires are of recent vintage it would be ok to mix bias ply tires with radial tires and that if they are old they should not be mixed? I guess I just wonder why you think the only factor that goes into the decision is the age of the tires and everything else is moot.
