Some older cars, 1920/30's did use bike tyres but then the cars weighed very little and top speed was 40 and that was only down a very steep hill I wouldn't use bike tyres on a modern car. That describes the Acty pretty well  |

The ones on said trailer aren't the skinny type that you get on those Halfords trailers, these would equate to 165 width. So I doubt there is much chance of them popping off the rim, or skipping on hard turns.
BUT, having never fitted trailer tyres to a car, I honestly couldn't tell you what it would handle like. I've have normal road tyres that have made a car handle like curse word.

Well I pioneered using trailer tyres on cars a number of years ago as you can't buy 10inch tyres in a decent profile. I would describe them as safe but not particularly grippy! They have stiff side walls that gives you a nice predictable handling but less actual grip. The tyres in question are 195/50/10 tho so sounds way too wide for your application.
