I think if you get a little flat spot that in most cases when you start using it with weight on the trailer, they heat up a little and round back out. But I guess if you let is set for years in the same spot you could do permanent damage. In most cases it think a few months in the same spot will not kill a tire. But if you can get the weight off then do it.

I use to have a whaler and took the wheels/bearing's etc off and greased everything and covered the Axel...but that was when I was young and had energy...On my larger boats since then...I am too lazy and just leave them on and leave it parked in the same spot till spring. (If you can get in off the wet ground and put it on a plank I think that will help also)

If you have to trailer a lot or long distances or at high speeds, I would make sure everything is shipshape, you don't wnt a problem on I-95 but if you are going down the street to splash it for the season...mixing tires or a flat spot will not matter much.
