Nothing to worry about, except in my experience the bearings require more attention.
I used to run the snot out of little snowmobile trailers with the 8" or 10" rims.
A lot of times with 3 machines on a 2 place trailer.
I did shell out a couple bearings over the years early on before upping my bearing maint/replacement efforts, but we'd travel 1000s of miles a winter at however fast conditions dictated. Regularly 80+mph on good roads.
DO get the tires balanced regardless of what the tire shop advises and make sure bearings are freshly packed I'd say every few thousand miles and replace bearings as you see fit for wear, or just slap new ones in at the same intervals since they're so cheap.
