I'd say keep the lug nuts tight too. I acquired a boat trailer in the fall with dual axles. Has small wheels and tires - 12 inch by 4.80 if my memory is reasonably accurate. I suppose the idea is to keep the boat low to the ground so that it is easier to launch and retrieve. In any event, I will have to buy new wheels as the lug nut holes on some seem to have worn somewhat. I can only assume they moved around because they were not tight enough. Needed new tires anyway so the wheels won't add too much to the cost. Trailer came to me as a gift so I am not complaining too loudly.

I've also noticed that balancing the tires makes them last a LOT longer - when I bought my trailer, the original tires weren't balanced and wore wonky.
