Best Trailer Wheel and Tire for Replacing B78-13ST
Question:
I am searching for tire/rim for my boat trailer B78-13 S.T. Article says bias tires are for short trips and some off road. My trips are 90 on highway. What defines short trip? Would bias or radial be better? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Radials are definitely better for your application. At this point it's actually pretty rare that the bias ply is the better way to go but for what you mentioned radial is better for highway use. So for a wheel and tire with a radial construction, a higher speed rating of 81 mph, and a 5 lug bolt pattern the Karrier part # AM31994 would be your best option.
