Will Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Tire Work Better in Place of Bias Ply on Rougher Roads
Question:
I was thinking of getting the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C Item # TT48012C for my little boat trailer. The problem is that I go great distances on the main roads to get to where I fish, but the roads into the lakes are rough with some basalt/crushed rock on them. Would the radial tires hold up to the rough roads or should I keep the bias tires that wear out on the pavement?

Helpful Expert Reply:
A radial tire like the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C Item # TT48012C that you referenced would hold up really well on the highway and the rough roads you mentioned. The advantage that bias ply tires have in rougher conditions isn't significant enough compared to how much better radials perform on the highway that the only time we recommend a bias ply is if the tire doesn't see any highway use.
