Would it harm a boat trailer or its tires to tow it unloaded for 400 or 500 miles at highway speeds?

May loose some bunks if there not rather new, soft wood with screws bouncing may pop them off. I know because my fishing partners have a heavy foot and if my old trailer bounced I would loose a bunk. Till I replaced them. Rollers no problem. Tires may do better aired down some so they are not rock hard empty but definitely not squatting.

You'd get a bit less bounce if you let a little air out of the tires...that's my guess and what I'd do.

after thinking of this longer I would probably ratchet strap the bunks down. Keep them square and tight
