Thanks Charlie

2 on each axle sounds like the best plan  :)

Lew,  it will do down the road with no load on it just fine with two tires 
on each axle.  If it were me I think I'd find 4 good tires, mount one on 
each of the outer duals and leave the inner dual with just the rim mounted 
(take the tire off).  You could do it with one axle fully mounted up with 4 
tires but then you'd probably have to chain the other axle up.
