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 ...

The physical weight of the tires will have no effect on MPG
The stiffer construction will have more rolling resistance so it will ding your milage.
If you put too much pressure in them for the load carried only the center of the tire will touch the pavement so your milage will go up.
Think of pedaling a bike with correct air pressure then over filling them how it gets easier.
