Re: RC: Radials or Bias Ply?

[Teddy Lancaster <Teddy@runningbear.com>]

I though bias for years...that's what came on my trailer.  But, I go through
them FAST...they did not wear well.  I then bought EXPENSIVE radials and
after 20,000 miles they still look new.  When you check out new tires, try a
Goodyear TRUCK tire dealer, not an auto tire dealer.  Auto tire people do
NOT understand what trailer needs are. I found truck tire people really far
more knowledgeable.
