heavier trailer tires and fuel economy
I know heavier tires on your truck decrease fuel economy but what about on a trailer? Looks like once you get it up to highway speed it wouldn't matter? why I asked was I got tired of the blowouts ...

Yes, there will be some effect. Like Typer0215 stated, it is likely small enough not to worry about. Perhaps the heavier weight and stiffer sidewall will provide less flex in the tire, making it have less rolling resistance anyways. The comfort of knowing you have plenty of available weight carrying capacity makes me happy, even at the potential cost of slightly less fuel economy.
