Specs:
The standard tread on these tires has solid, continuous ribs with very few sipes (or thin grooves) cut into the rubber. These tires are designed for use on trailers, so they don't require the level of traction that would be needed on a vehicle that is braking or steering.
Rambler radials have double polyester cords and double steel belts. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation.
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Taskmaster Rambler ST 175/80R13 radial trailer tire in a low green C. Now this is a radial ply tire.

Those sipes are put in there when they want the tire to helps them embed bad weather, like when there's water underneath the tire, helps dissipate that water.
These tires, since they're designed for use on trailers, they don't really require that level of traction, so that would be needed on a vehicle like one that uses braking or steering.
