Doug, Ned and others,

I would be cautious about run flat tires on a trailer. My reason for this is that when you get a flat or low tire on run flats, you don't feel a profound difference, just a suttle handling change. I think that this
change would be completely missed on a trailer and you would tend to not know you have a low tire or a flat until the tire fails catastrophically. I have driven a car with run flats and not known a tire was low until the tire overheated and blew a sidewall, very dangerous. Just my opinion, but I think it deserves a little more investigation!
