The 14.5 tires aren't anything unusual, they are the tires used on mountable rims. Don't try to use mobile home tires, use equipment trailer tires. They cost about $48 each in 8.00 by 14.5 12 ply. Also, don't expect a tire store that sells you the size tire they have rather than the tire you need to know what a 14.5 tire is. You will have to go to a real tire dealer to find them. Ask your local police department and State Police if the axles are legal. I'm building an equipment trailer using mobile home axles, and I was wondering the same question about using the axles so I went to a large old tractor show near here and checked factory made trailers against home made trailers with mobile home tires, and I could only see the difference was in the HD tires compared to tires marked mobile home only. I've had trailer questions and asked the Secretary of State license department, who is in charge of the laws, and they said they didn't know, that I would have to ask the police department. Since they are the ones you will be dealing on a one on one basis you are probably best asking the police. I would be anxious to know what you find if you do. Even if they say they don't know. Sometimes the only reason they will stop you is if you have a light out, just because they are having a bad day and want to spread the cheer.
