14 inch Trailer Tire Recommendation for Four Winns Boat Trailer
Question:
I have a Four Winns tandem boat trailer with disc brakes on the rear axle. The boat is a FW 245 that weighs out at 5200 lbs the trailer at 1300lbs. I am currently running 205 75R 14 tires. I am looking to replace the tires. Would boas ply or radials both work equally well?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Radials perform better overall than bias ply tires. Radial tires flex more, which provides better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, and since cooler tires last longer, radials generally outlast bias ply tires. At one time, radials were more costly than their bias ply counterparts, but that's changed, and the two types are now similar in price. Radial tires are great for highway use, making them the more popular choice for modern trailers and campers.
