I have a m353 I’m goin to make into a trailer for the farm. Is the stock tires 11/20 good for this. I have access to two brand new 335/80/20 tires for cheap. They look a little flatter so I’m thinking more stable wor weight. Won’t be driven on road very much.which way should I go?

Those are much better tires but you will need 20x11 (MPT) wheels for them. (like what comes on the M35A3).
Your stock wheels are not compatible: different bead style, slightly larger diameter (specs attached), besides being way too narrow.

I have used these trailers on my farm for years. Great units. I have always replaced the original tires when they were found to not be up to the work any longer with G177s from Goodyear or 831s from Firestone.

1000-20s used on intermodal trailers are up to 7700lbs. They are tube type tires.
