This may appear to be a totally stupid question but I just have to ask; Is there any advantage in having AT all terrain tyres on my trailer instead of the usual light truck tyres? "Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"

In terms of towing performance, the short answer is 'No'
However you can run two different sets of tyres - Four rims and tyres for offroad work - two on the trailer plus two spares - And four (or five) rims for on-road/sand or just around town.
I usually leave HTs on the car and STs on the trailer + spares, then swap over as necessary. Minimises the wear and tear on the more expensive tyres.
