The only advantage to this would be that you only have to buy 4 wheels instead of 6. I think I would go with 6, sounds like a pain in the "rear" to me.

any difference in tire size will cause the larger O.D. tire to take the full load untill it is compressed to the same O.D. of the smaller tire. you will NEVER find a tire combination that is exactly the same, unless they are the same wheel diameter. it is very unstable and unsafe. kinda like running bias ply and radial tires on the same trailer; one's going to blow, just a matter of time.
