Expert Reply:
There isn't a difference in handling between bias and radial trailer tires; bias tires are designed more for hauling heavier loads and won't flex as much on the side walls. The downside is they'll run a bit hotter than radial tires that are designed for long highway trips where heat can build up. For a smaller camper you really could go either way and won't experience a lack of handling.
You can go with the # AM1ST79 which are a bias tire, or the # LHCK105 which are a radial tire. Both of these tires are 185/80r13 and are Load Range D, so aside from the way they're constructed they will have the same specs.
I've linked review videos of these tires for you to check out, as well.
