Sorry Guys, the 8" tires stay on the trailer! It makes the trailer more versatile, as it also looks great behind my Austin Mini with 10" tires. The previous owner towed the trailer behind his Frontenac to Nebraska, and back with no problems. Being towed behind the A at 45mph on secondary roads should pose no issues. During my future ownership, I don't foresee any interstate driving at 75 mph, for extended periods of time. Which would certainly heat the bearings up. I will keep it original looking, like my cars.

It gathered a lot of interest yesterday, at a local car show. I had 6 of my cars on display. I towed it with one of the Minis, it is easier to back up behind the Mini. It is very hard to see behind the Fords. It sure fits the lawn chairs in nicely.
