I've never understood why one would want radials on a trailer anyway? It's
not like you're after cornering.



Radials have better load distribution than bias ply and they flex more
- bias ply tires will bounce under stress.

I guess one could not expect them to hold up against sun any better ? I
will be replacing the tires on my trailer this year I am certin. Any
advice on which trailer tires hold up against the sun the best, as mine
are cracking on the side walls, would be welcome.

Don't do many long distance trips as the boat is stored on the trailer
right next to the the lake. We may take it to another lake if one
appeals to us. But that only happens mabe once a year.
