My Jeep hauler trailer has ST205/75 D15 on a single jeep trailer. Trailer with the Jeep on it weighs in around 5200 pounds.

Tractor Supply sells them on the rim for about $110 each (quick, cheap, and easy. 3 very good things).
Discount tire wants to sell me just the tires put on my old rims, Carlisle radials mounted and balanced for $115 each. (carlisles are good)
I have found Bias ply tire and wheel packages on the etherwebs like easternmarine.com for $80 to $110 each(shipping is another $65).

Can anyone please explain bias ply versus radials for trailer tires only? Whats the best choice.

Can anyone recommend any other places to buy good trailer tires?
