Can a Radial Tire Be Used On One Side and a Non-Radial On the Other Side Of a Trailer
Question:
if you have a radial tire on one side and a nylon belt non radial on the other of a single axal trailer would that be a problem
asked by: Vince
Expert Reply:
You will need to use the same ply tire on all sides of the trailer whether that be radial or bias(non-radial). If you were to use two different plies you could have two completely different tire temperatures and even pressures which would put you at risk of a blowout. The actual material used in the constriction of the belts in the tire (nylon or steel) does not really matter but ideally you want both tires to be the same brand/model as well.
I have attached a list of our trailer tires below. If you let me know what size you need I would be glad to make a recommendation.
