I have a 16 foot auto transport trailer.  The original tires are looking a 
bit dry rotted, so I think it is time for them to be replaced.  The tires 
on there now are P215/75B14, Regul brand, bias belted (not radial) with a 
rating of 1664lbs each.  The P means these are passenger tires, not ST 
"special trailer" tires.  The advice I have heard so far is to stick with 
non-radials, and go with special trailer tires.

Question 1:  Does anyone have any other advice on this subject?

Question 2:  The wheels are not currently balanced.  Is this normal for a 
trailer of this type?

Thanks.
