Hi Karl,
I don't know much about it but since your tires are so new (and presumably
the correct spec!), I guess you should be careful with the dollies.  If
they cause a bump in the tires where the tires rest, then I would for sure
proceed with caution.    What if you get your local tire shop to mount some
old/no good tires on your rims so you can store and preserve your new
tires?  Then the cost to you would only be the cost of changing your good
tires off, and then back on to your rims, when your project is complete.
cheers,
g
