In general, radial tires are what most people use, even for fairly heavy
loads these days.  The important thing is to buy tires that are meant for
the load you carry.  The tire dealer will most likely tell you what you need.

I can't imagine you'd need super-heavy duty tires on such a small trailer -
it probably doesn't weigh as much as an average car - even with 2 horses in
it.
