I have a 16 foot auto transport trailer. The original tires are looking a bit dry rotted, so I think it is time for them to be replaced. The tires on there now are P215/75B14, Regul brand, bias belte

Since you are buying new tires get a radial trailer tire. They will cost a little more than the same size car tire, but the weight rating will be higher. Trailer tires are worth it. My current traile

That's what I thought at first, but then I read this article: http://www.championtrailers.com/tire_art.html It pretty much says that radials aggravate sway problems when used on a trailer. -Steve At

Prob about 90+% of the new enclosed race car trailers (Pace, Vintage, etc) come with the Goodyear Marathon trailer tires. I have several racing buddies that swear by them. They are radials. I have no

There is a good reason why you should use trailer rated tires vs. passenger tires: the trailer tires are much more resistant to lateral motion, so they are less likely to sway. Also, the tread is des

I don't have a comment on bias vs. radial. I do have a race car and trailer, so do many of my friends, I will tell you it is imperative you get trailer tires. I don't know what the construction diffe

What do you mean by "cross over size"? I figured I would use the same 215/75/14 whether I bought radials or not. Am I missing something here? -Steve /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majord

I'm in New Zealand, so there are some different ground rules, but generally speaking most (but certainly not all) commercial grade tires are 80 profile, that is the side wall height expressed as a p
