Theres a trailer that is 5x8 with like smaller then normal ttires and wondering if it would tow a vehicle.?
Find answers to your legal question.

its a 2003 toyota mr2 spyder... so its not really that heavy but it is kinda wide and i think its longer then 8 feet but im not sure. its a heavy duty trailer that is made out of welded plates so its built pretty good i just dont know if the tires would handle the stress of a 1700 mile road trip witha car on the back of it...

If the trailer is licensed for road use, then it would have a maximum weight capacity. This info would be on a metal plate, welded to the frame, somewhere. No matter what size the trailer or tires is, this Gross Vehicle Weight should never be exceeded.

If it is a "utility" trailer, no...it isn't designed to carry that much weight.

Sounds like a utility trailer. Not advisable. Trailer is not sturdy enough for load. Check the rated weight of trailer. then check the rated weight of tires. I think you are going to fall a little short here.

racemaster

sounds like you have a snowmobile trailer and the car is too long for it

Put the correct tires back on it for safety reasons........

solvent

Check if there is tire damaged (replace if in doubt)
Check if has been tampered (replace if in doubt)

Enjoy the trip
