There are a couple ways you can determine what tire size would work best on your 1991 Fleetwood Prowler travel trailer. One way is you can look on the plate up by the coupler of the trailer that has the VIN and axle capacities listed. There should be a section there that says what size and Load Range tires are recommended.

Or, you can look at the size of the tires you have on your trailer currently and then go with them again. To see what the size will look like check out the picture I attached.

If available in your size I would recommend a radial tire over a bias ply.

The main difference between a radial ply and a bias ply tire is how the tire is constructed. The cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, and the cords on a radial tire run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel, or across the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip.

A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear.

A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer.

I also attached a couple FAQ articles to the right on trailer tires.
