Can Radial And Bias Ply Tires Be Mixed On A Trailer?
Question:
Can a flat st205/75R15 tire be replaced by a st205/75015 tire ?
asked by: Cristian
Expert Reply:
It is not recommended to mix bias ply and radial tires, so you would not want to use the Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM3S640DX to replace a flat ST205/75R15 tire.
Bias ply and radial tires track and perform differently which can cause an unstable ride, and can wear tires quicker.
I recommend going with the Castle Rock ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # LHACK121 which has a similar white wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, but uses a radial tire.
I included a video of the # LHACK121 for you to take a look at.
