Oh boy, is this a question. Most people can not live with mobile home axles/tires on a trailer. I knew one custom combiner that used them to tow way heavy combne fron Texas to Montana with no problems. His take was that when you mounted the rim to spin it and tighten it evemly. Run a bit and tighten again. all ways full air. My though is that the tires are just too cheap, made for one run only, have been overloaded and banged over pot holes and railroad tracks til they are just ready to go. I once built a two axle flatbed with them and only problem I had was it was loaned out all the time. My advice though, is don't use them and stay away from them. While I am at it..Modern tires left out in the sun for a year or two or three are just waiting to blow. I have had two tires just leaning against the shed blow. One while I was walking by. Scared the H out of me.
