I had a M416 in the early 2000s, I got it in 1998 from DRMO with tires dated in the late 60s. They hauled fine until the day I sold the trailer, no problems.
IMHO - keep those tires on there and use them. Just keep an eye out for tire checking on the sidewalls, and keep a new spare handy in...
Jeep trailers are great, man. I miss having one rolling around (my M416 is still apart until I can get a replacement floor), throw your stuff in the back and roll out. I have used them loaded with over 1 ton of stuff and it handled the load fine.

Whatever it was, it's...
