Prob about 90+% of the new enclosed race car trailers (Pace, Vintage, etc)
come with the Goodyear Marathon trailer tires. I have several racing
buddies that swear by them. They are radials. I have noticed no sway
problems with their trailers. I have passenger car radials on mine. No
sway problems. I think sway is more dependent on the tongue weight and
trailer loading. My trailer is pretty heavy, plus a heavy race car and a
pit pike mounted on the tongue. Seen here:

The Goodyear Marathon radials in your size BTW, are rated at 1870 lbs
each. The link to Goodyear:
