Anyone using Boar Wheel 19.5 Wheels and commercial Tires?

A little "ad" in the June TL featured this product.
Company website is compelling (never have a blowout/tire failure (unless a puncture I suppose)). No need to upgrade axles and get much more load capability and cornering strength, albeit over $600 for a "Muret" Wheel and a US made Continental Commercial G rated tire.

    When I towed for a living I asked PJ and Starlite trailer mfg why 19.5" tires and wheels weren't used for their trailers with certain size axles.
    Both said the short sidewall 19.5" tires will beat up a trailers suspension on into the frame and trailers contents.
    And a trailers 6k/7k/8k springs are only 25"-27" long unlike a truck with 6' long springs which adds to the rough ride problem.
    Their comments not mine.

    19.5" automotive wheels and tires are popular with truck camper owners for carrying 4k-6k campers.
