Oops! Yes I was asking you.
I have those cheap tires as well.
I ask about the speed because I have seen folks going 80 mph pulling their trailers like there is no tomorrow. I have heard that the tires are not rated for that speed but that does not appear to be the case in your situation.

Looks like its time to go tire shopping.
