I don't think that modifying TM's axles to accept dual wheels on each end is something that is feasible for TM owners to do. It's complex enough that only the TM factory should consider it. However, there may be more disadvantages to this kind of a tire arrangement than advantages. Consider this:
1. Would you be willing to accept an interior aisle space that's 18" or more narrower than that in our present trailers? Remember that our tires basically are inside the trailers (look at the wheel wells inside of the cabinets)?
2. How difficult would it be to change an inside tire if you had a blowout while on the highway?
3. Would you like to have to get underneath your trailer in order to check an inside tire's pressure?

Raising the floor's height in order to use dual wheels without sacrificing loss of floor space is a possibility. However, that would mean that the floors of our TMs might be a foot higher. Not only would this make entry more difficult but, with a higher center of gravity, our trailers would be more unstable on the highways.

I'm convinced that the best solution to minimizing our risk of blowouts involves purchasing the best tires available, keeping them properly inflated and replacing them every 5 to 6 years. Don't overload your trailer, and, convert your TM's square-cornered wheel wells to round-cornered ones if you haven't already done that.
