You need a picture of your trailer vin/info plate which shows it should have came with radials.
When you take pictures of each tire it must be of the dot#
If you call the phone number on the first post here you will get the claim started
Well looks like I got screwed both ways on this not sure if the changed the way the plate reads at some point but mine says 75R/D which I assume means radials or bias ply can be used and my trailer on my boat I purchased in April 2017 has the old brakets.
Even though it says both the problem is that the biased tires bounce too much causing issues. They will replace them no problem.
Its worth the call and the little time it will take. Trust us
I looked for the plate on my trailer, but there isn't one. Somebody must've peeled it off. It hasn't been there since I bought it new in July. It's supposedly a 2018 trailer. It also has bias ply tires.

In your claim you just stated that you had bias ply and they were supposed to be radials and they sent new radials is this correct? My trailer came with bias ply and I would love to swap them out o radials I was just going to buy new ones.
I guess its time to sell all 8 and get new radials lol. That stinks sorry to hear that. I plan to try and file a claim this week we will see how mine goes.

If you do decide to go that route I know everyone has a tire preference but I have been using Kenda Karrier tires for years now on all my trailers except the current and have never had an issue knock on wood. I usually go up one load size over recommend as well so when I upgrade this trailer I will go to load range D as well if I don't get free radials of course.

The Kenda Karrier does it's listed on there web site but I do recall the last time I ordered them they were tough to find I had to go to my local tire shop that carried that brand and special order them. The D loads in the 205 75 14's were easy to find but the 215 wasn't.
@swatski after doing some digging though I may give these a try next first time I have ever seen our tire size in a D load rating with an M speed rating at 81 mph
