Trailer tires, radial vs. bias ply

[falconbrother]

From what I can see most travel trailers come with bias ply tires. My brother switched his out for automotive radials and claims they pull better and that he has had none of the issues that he had with bias ply, like chunks of tread falling off and blowouts. Is it safe to put radial car tires on a travel trailer? What about the weight ranges, car/truck vs. travel trailer?

I think you will find most are going to G rated ST or E rated LT tires. I have run LT's on my 5W's for years with out issue. I currently have an 11K 5W 2017 with LT's. Ask at a good tire shop what they recommend. This is pretty general as what kind of unit and weights will help answer more.
