Its been my experience its not a good idea to mix 50 psi tires on one axle and 65 psi on the other.
The biggest downside is braking imbalance between the front and rear axle especially on wet pavement.
Now add the difference in tire tread pattern which also can lead to the same braking imbalance issues.
Now if you have a lawn service trailer/utility trailer and most if not all the miles of service are around town then mixing load ranges and tread patterns isn't so much of a big deal. Hell many of those type don't have their brakes hooked up anywayz.
