Re: Truck vs trailer tires on car hauler?

Here is a website that explains the differences.

Before the narrow tread bias look passenger rated radials in sizes that fit the pre 51 models that used the 6xx and 7xx sized tires became more commonly available, truck and trailer rated radial tires were often suggested for those who wanted to use radials on the heavier cars such as the Custom and LWB models. Because of the narrower tread they did fit in the wheelwells and look more correct than standard radials but IMO, the ride using those light truck and trailer tires is somewhat more harsh because of the stiffer sidewalls.
