All tires have a load rating, which is the important number, trailer tires are designed specifically to pull with less lost energy to friction, but also to hold weight and last alot of miles, without losing to much traction, if you use regular car tires you could compromise fuel economy, mileage, or load to them, but if that is acceptable you can do what you want, just don't over load a tire, as an accident is inevitable. as far as adding an enclosure, you have to take strength vs. weight and wind resistance. obviously you can pull a flat surface through air, but wind resistance will slow you down. There is an obvious attempt to make a trailer slipperier in the trailer industry, but they can only go so far without losing interior space and utility.<br><b>References : </b><br> Wheels will generally work as long as they fit, though they also have load ratings.
