It's against the law, in Manitoba anyways.
I don't know what the difference is between truck and trailer tires, but there must be one. My uncle got a ticket for not having a "trailer" tire on his 5th wheel. I think it may have something to do with the thickness of the side walls, which would prevent blowouts.
I make sure that I have the correct tires. The manufacturers must know what they are doing.
Trailer tires are not much more expensive, so why mess around with something that works.

You can use whatever tire you want as long as they are the same size as the ones you took off. You just have to make sure the weight rating is the same or better, because if you get tires with a lower weight rating you risk a blow out. You should be able to ask the place you go to, to have the tires changed should know what the weight ratings are and let you know what's best.

Yes as long as the wheel and tire will fit trailer, they could rub under load.
