I wouldn't spend 30 seconds worrying about whether the manufacturer will warrant the tire on a trailer. Those warranties are worthless anyway. The idea is to buy a tire that won't need a manufacturers defect warranty. And obviously a tread life warranty is not going to apply. Just buy the dealers road hazard warranty if that's your style. Only costs a few bucks per tire usually, and in my experience they are pretty good about honoring the warranty, no questions asked.
I doubt those road hazzard warranties will cover consequential damage to the trailer. Therefore spending extra money on higher quality tires is a better investment. Would you buy a 60-80k car or truck with tires that only cost the manufacturer 40 of 50 dollors each¿

No, they won't. I wouldn't trust any of the manufacturers to warrant incidental damage either. Goodyear seems to be the one exception, and even that is hit and miss. My point was, warranty would not play into my decision.
