Question is how much is your load worth to you? I would tend to trust a 10 inch trailer tire over a 15 inch p metric car tire. Generally the trailer tires contain additional plies and may have extra in the sidewall where you need it. If it were my boat going 600 miles, I would be putting whatever size the trailer manufacturer calls for and in trailer style on it. If your hauler wants to change wheels and tire sizes, make sure he has insurance and will be responsible for the load. The trailer could handle differently. The change from 10 to 12 may not even raise the trailer enough to be of any value. In this area you can probably get 4 installed for a lot less than then you think and don't forget a spare. In these parts traveling without a spare for your trailer can get you a ticket and yet I always see tireless trailers on the side and owners off looking for a tire. I shake my head wondering what the owner is thinking running a $20K ski boat or $15k snowmobile setup and didn't spend $40 on a spare. If you were going 6 miles, no question, but 600? Get what you need before it costs you a lot more than you figure on saving. Just my 2¢ and keep the change. HTH
