Has there ever been a consensus on whether there is a suitable radial tire to replace the Duro bias tires on the heavier Colemans with Duro 185D13 STs running 65 psi?

I've never seen a radial 185R13 rated for 1660 lbs.  Until then, I don't have the weight room for anything but the 8-ply D's at 65 psi.  The last time I had the Taj MaHaul on a scale, she was within 100 lbs of that 3320 lbs.  :yikes:

My understanding is, even on trailers radials ride better, so I'd like to use them, but not at the risk of *BOOM* flop-flop-flop! at 65 MPH.

AB,
 
That's why I don't even want to take our Utah near a scale, I might scare myself.
