I thought Metro are different?? Cant remember if its the PCD or the off set seem to remember being given one and it wouldn't fit?
The biggest problem is tyres in 10" are very expensive as the last Mini on 10" wheels was 1976 I think.
Its much easier if you can fit a larger wheel but the PCD will be the issue

I've got the metro rims on my trailer, and even getting tyres for them was a special order, so can imagine getting 10's might be fun... I tried to find a replacement rim in 13" with the same pcd but didn't get very far, so just ordered the 12's.

I used to buy and sell a few trailers and could never find any other wheels to fit the MINI stud PCD as modern vehicles use a different size
"Masses of 4" pcd rims available, built for cars and trailers, in just about any diameter you desire"
where? searched high and low the last time and found nothing? mind you I was looking for cars that were available, not custom made one offs. If you know where they can be had, I'm definitely interested for the next time, 13" would be ideal, masses of tyres available for that.

10" trailer tyres are not expensive, you can get a wheel and tyre for £42. I bought some for my trailer and they are zero offset which was actually better for my application. Mini were 4" PCD and later Metro and others were 100mm PCD.

Proper 10" trailer tyres are rated to 88mph but the limit in UK is 60mph anyway. If your trailer is that heavy it's overheating the tyres I'd take a bit out and make two trips. Mine's made a few long trips with 10" tyres and never had any problem.

These are fine for light weight trailers but are only rated for 355 KG so 710KG minus the trailer weight and you could easily over load it, its all down to what you are going to do with it.
I prefer to use car or van tyres of 14" or above as even 13" are getting harder to find
If you look at van tyre sizes they have a higher load carrying capacity
