I think you might be ok with the trailer tires. They won't handle as well or have as much traction but I bet in normal driving you wouldn't even notice. They will also ride stiffer but I bet that stiffness which is in the sidewalls, translates to lower rolling resistance. In a corner that stiffness along with the narrow tire means it doesn't distort to the road and steering angles as well for grip. Add in rain and it might be quite noticeable. That's where you have to think whats right for you. I bet a newer accord with that as a negative still handles better than anything pre 80's and definitely better than anything on old bias ply tires. So bottom line, we used to do just fine on poor suspension designs and inferior tire compounds but you have to not be Too Fast and Too Furious.
