As for your original question, I have found that radial tires a much better made tire that bias. They pull straighter and smoother because the sidewall can give with the road, not fight the road. But of course the radials may have been too light rated. I gathered that you did not have regular trailer tires (ST) but something else. Are they (LT) rated and 15 or 16 inch? Also tires are not ply rated anymore. The numbers of plys on the sidewall mean nothing without more info. Tires are Load rated which corresponds roughly to the old ply rating. We say 6 or 8 ply but we mean C or D.
