Clois;

Had a similar problem with my car hauler trailer just before going to Tulsa this year......Trailer place were I got the new bearings suggested to tighten them a little on the tight side and take it down the road a mile or two and return,then re-check,sometimes they need this to "seat in".... Tried it and it worked out fine. I'm kinda like you,I'd rather them a tad loose than tight,but you might give this a try and see if it helps,sometimes that all it takes for things to "seat in correctly"....

BTW; I must have stopped every hour or so on the way to Tulsa (8.5 hour trip) to check the spindles for excessive heat,all was well and I sure was relieved when I finally rolled into the hotel parking lot,only to have a flat on the trailer the next morning,you drive 8.5 hours with no troubles and as soon as you get there you have a flat,well, better in the hotel parking lot than on the highway......
