Yes, mixing, like putting a bias-ply tire on one side of the trailer
and a radial on the other. If I get a flat, I will have to temporarily,
because my spare is an older bias-ply tire, but I won't run that way
for long.

Mixing bias & radial tires is NOT a good idea.

Back in the late 90's we discussed trailer tires for
the M15. It was suggested that radial tires are as
good a bias tires, give a smoother ride and are less
expensive. I purchased three 145 12" radials at Sears
for $ 14. each. After many happy miles one of the
tires blew while towing to Lake Don Pedro this past
week just outside of Modesto. I'm having a heck of a
time finding 12" radials. Are they still available?
Can you tow with one bias and one radial?
There's a M15 and a M17 listed for sale in this
month's issue of Latitude 38. Go to Latitude 38 on
the Internet.
