While that trailer might be able to handle 3000 lbs on it (but just
barely?) those tires would have about 2000 lbs on each one at that point
and while that is not a lot, bias belt tires really don't handle running
at the limit on load and while driving at high speeds. Radials do much
better and can be pushed a lot harder than bias belt tires without failing.

Life is short and can be shorten even further by using lousy tires.
