Expert Reply:
Radial tires, like # TTWTRTM1758013C that are 175/80 R13 are generally considered to be better tires for most applications. Radial tires have more ground contact which means they have better traction, stability and they wear more evenly. A radial will usually run cooler as well. This is important because heat is the main reason a tire will fail.
On the flipside, a bias tire, like 175/80 D13 tire # AM1ST76, are generally better if you're going to be off road because the tire has a stiffer side wall. This can be useful for farm or agricultural use because of the rough terrain where there isn't as much risk of heat building up.
