One thing to consider when choosing tires may be if you have the trailer insured or not. As insurance companies will look for more ways to deny your claim than pay you, if you have tires that are not rated for being on a trailer, you could wind up losing more than you saved getting regular tires.

That being said, I will confirm the tires exploding Jeff had mentioned. Well, I won't say exploding, but by the time I got a fully loaded trailer stopped from doing 70mph, it sure looked like it had been through one. I've had 3 tires do that, and all were the tires that were on the trailer when we bought it. They weren't over 2 years old and were the properly rated tires. I would have to say it was more brand related more than anything else. The replacement tires I used have all been fine.
