I think Keith is right that the real "off road" factor for a trailer is in axle ground clearance.  All the cool diamond plating, big gnarly all terrain tires and such are more for appearance than function.

I agree.  I've been running through my mind how the off-road tires would help where you're not turning or applying power.  I can see limited benefit in braking on a muddy or snowy surface, but that's it.

They do look cool, though, but I don't want to spend money for that.  And I live off-road, literally.
