Dave,
One way to do that is to take the tires back before you mount everything up and try to
snug them
into place. Then, tow your trailer to a tire guy and ask him to put that size tire on
your trailer.
After he mounts them up and can't get them on, then ask for his recommendation.
The name of the game is to buy the tires from the guy who can get them onto your
trailer. In that
way, he's responsible for his decisions and you get tires that you can change if you
have a flat.
By doing it this way, you don't get to scuff up your new tires and you miss out on all
the cursing
and horsing around trying to install them. Best of all, you don't have to listen to
your tire guy
tell you that you "damaged" your tires, they are no longer considered new and he won't
take them
back - even if they are too large for your application.
That's the short and sweet of it. It may not be what you wanted to hear.
